Salmiya crimes taking on ‘Jleeb’ pattern: residents

KUWAIT CITY: Residents of Salmiya say the crime pattern in the area and Jleeb Al-Shyoukh is getting increasingly similar as criminals have now begun stealing cars amidst bag snatching incidents. Incidents of such nature were often reported in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh in the recent times.
Last week, two car thefts were reported in Block 10, while a bag snatching case was reported near the Salmiya garden which is reportedly the meeting point of criminals even as some residents recalled seeing suspicious-looking elements loitering in the precinct of the garden.

Though no new cases have been reported since last Friday, when police swung into action and stepped up surveillance in the area, residents say they are skeptical that normalcy will return to the area anytime soon. Most of the thefts and bag snatching incidents have taken place in Block 10.
Residents said police patrols were seen cruising the streets of Salmiya on Friday and Saturday and were questioning people who were moving suspiciously in the area.

Last Wednesday, a Sri Lankan lady’s bag was snatched away by two Arab men, who came in a car. The lady was emerging out of a store after doing some purchases when a man occupying the passenger seat of the car stepped out and grabbed the bag and jumped into the moving car.
The source added that the lady tried to chase the criminals but lost her balance and fell to the ground. With this incident, the total number of bag snatching cases has risen to three. In the earlier cases both victims were Indians.

No breakthrough was achieved in both cases at the time going to the press. Residents are of the view that most cases go unreported as victims do not want to get involved in the lengthy process of investigation and lack of Arabic knowledge is believed to be another factor.
In another incident, a car of an Indian was stolen last Wednesday after he parked it on an open ground in Block 10, a source said.

A SUV belonging to another Indian was also stolen after the owner had parked it opposite his building. It may be recalled that car thefts were rampant in Jleeb Al-Shyoukh in the past two years with criminals often stealing the parts of the cars and abandoning them in deserted areas.
In an effort to counter the phenomenon, a large number of car owners had installed anti-theft alarms in their vehicles, and this practice seemingly helped to curb the problem.
