Mubarakiya Makeup Fraud: Expat Woman Arrested After Taxi Escape

KUWAIT CITY, Sep 22: The Capital Investigations Department successfully apprehended an expatriate woman accused of defrauding a cosmetics seller. The incident occurred when the woman visited a store in Mubarakiya, purchased makeup, and requested the seller to send her a bank link for 90 dinars, the cost of the cosmetics. While the seller was preparing the link, the woman suddenly fled in a mobile taxi.

After the seller reported the incident, investigators reviewed footage from the complex's security cameras, which confirmed that the suspect had indeed escaped in a taxi. Following further investigations, authorities were able to identify the woman. When presented to the seller, she was recognized, and the accused ultimately confessed to the theft, mistakenly believing she would not be easily tracked down.
