AMMAN — A Criminal Investigation Department (CID) team has arrested one of three suspects, believed to have stolen a safe from a consumer corporation in Karak, the Public Security Department (PSD) said on Sunday.

The burglary took place last Tuesday, when the suspects threatened the guard with a sharp object and broke the locks of the facility before stealing the safe, according to a PSD statement.

After receiving a complaint, CID agents started an investigation and arrested the suspect, “who has a criminal record”. After further questioning, the suspect confessed to committing the robbery with two accomplices and sharing the stolen cash.
