KUWAIT: Hawalli detectives recently arrested a 26-year-old female citizen and a Canadian woman of Arab origin for shoplifting from a prestigious garment store. Security sources said that one of the suspects usually distracts the sales ladies while the other used a device they had bought from an Asian country to deactivate the alarm device fixed on each of the items. Detectives had received various reports about robberies in a famous Salmiya mall, which prompted an investigation. The suspects confessed they only steal clothes.
