A group of seven foreigners have been arrested over the theft of RM2 million ($795,175) worth of diamond jewellery from a Hong Kong national at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

The incident happened at 6.35pm (6.35pm Singapore time) on July 18, when two women - a Costa Rican and a Mexican - were caught on airport closed-circuit television (CCTV) stealing a suitcase from the 53-year-old victim while she was busy at a counter.

The theft took less than a minute, with one suspect distracting the woman while the other took the suitcase, which was left on a trolley.

Police did not want to reveal what counter she was at when the theft occurred.
