Kuwaiti police arrested five Omani women after security cameras showed they have robbed several gold shops in the oil-rich Gulf emirate.
The five used to go into jewellery shops with a little boy and pretend to try some items to detract the attention of workers before leaving the shop with their loot.
Police had been baffled by the cameras failure to identify their faces before they decided to trick the women into falling in a trap.
Police published fake attractive offers for jewelry and cosmetics on an Instagram account they set up for this purpose. They then installed several cameras inside the shop, the Arabic language daily Al Watan said.
Police kept that shop under their surveillance until they saw the suspected five women. As they tried to steal again, the women were arrested.
I see a movie. Thelma & Louise in a burka.
One looks like she stole a microwave!
How were they recognized?
Maybe they weren’t woman?
I recognize the one in the middle.
Hope they book their physical therapy now for life with one hand.
I couldn’t tell.
