Two among the burglars around whom suspicion revolved were arrested at Al Muwaihait area. When confronted they confessed to robbing cars in connivance with other partners and that they robbed the motorcycles from motorcycle repair shops. The two arrested suspects led the police to their accomplices and their whereabouts and they were arrested. On confrontation they confessed to stealing the cars and motorcycles for personal use for a while and after using them they used to park them in random areas.”

Based on their confession, the suspects have been detained and will be referred to the Public Prosecution. The stolen cars and motorbikes were returned to their owners.
