Rehab Mohammad The Fourth Lower Criminal Court has begun hearings in a major theft case involving eight defendants accused of stealing luxury watches and gold bullion worth more than BHD 800,000 from a residential property.
According to the Public Prosecution, the alleged crime took place in March 2026, when suspects reportedly broke into the victim’s home at night and stole 22 Rolex watches and around 1.5 kilograms of gold bars kept in a bedroom safe.
The Criminal Investigation Department launched investigations after the victim reported the burglary. CCTV footage played a key role, showing a vehicle near the property and suspicious activity, including covered security cameras. This led to the identification and arrest of the suspects.
Authorities said some defendants confessed to the crime, while others admitted to concealing or handling stolen items. Authorities later recovered the stolen goods from multiple locations, including a farm and a garage, based on the suspects’ statements.
Lawyer Reem Almahari’s defense lawyer requested time to review the case and sought the client’s release.
