Three defendants were placed on provisional detention pending investigation for allegedly stealing around BD600,000 from a currency exchange company, the head of the Capital Governorate Prosecution said.
The suspects were identified and arrested after a probe was launched by the Criminal Investigation Directorate at the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Evidence.
Two of them carried out the theft by breaking the company’s door during its closure at midday. The third suspect hid part of the stolen money despite knowing its source.
The Public Prosecution launched an investigation, interrogated the suspects, and confronted them with the seized items and collected evidence. It ordered to remand them in custody pending further investigation after they had admitted to the theft, in preparation for their referral to the court for trial.
