Kuwaitis woke up on Saturday to shocking news of a night robbery in the middle of a famous market place where two Indians were killed by thieves using Russian-made assault rifles before they made away with a large sum of money.

Newspapers said the three Indians were collecting money from dealers just before the closure of the market in the northwestern town of Kabd on Friday night when two unknown thieves began spraying fire at them.

Two of the money company’s employees were killed in the shooting while the third escaped after hiding under the front seat, they said.

The thieves, who had come in another car, made away with around KD12,500 (Dh165,000) although the vehicle had nearly KD200,000 (Dh270,000).

The Arabic language daily ‘Al Anba’ said police had mounted a massive manhunt for the burglars but added that security cameras installed in the place had not produced clear shots of the thieves and their car plates.

Newspapers described it as one of the most daring and bloodiest robberies in Kuwait.
