Two Asian men are to stand trial after allegedly stealing a 100-gram gold bar from a jewellery shop in central Manama.

The Capital Governorate Prosecution has completed its investigation and ordered that both suspects remain in custody while the case proceeds.

The case began with a report filed by the Criminal Investigation Directorate, following a complaint from the manager of a jewellery firm.

A gold bar had gone missing from one of the company’s shops, believed to have been taken through distraction.

Investigators identified the suspects, arrested them, and recovered the stolen bar in their possession.

The prosecution questioned both men, who admitted to the charge. They were remanded in custody as inquiries continued.
