Bedoun Caught Impersonating Cop; Found with Guns and Narcotics
The arrest followed a routine patrol in the West Abdullah Al-Mubarak area, where police noticed a vehicle whose driver appeared visibly anxious upon spotting the patrol. When officers attempted to approach, the suspect fled at high speed, prompting a pursuit. Backup was called, and the vehicle was eventually cornered and brought to a stop.
Upon inspection, authorities discovered a cache of suspicious items inside the car, including a Kalashnikov rifle, a pistol, two walkie-talkies, four mobile phones, a bag containing the crystal meth drugs, a strip of stimulant pills, drug paraphernalia, and a security badge linked to the Public Security Sector.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect, born in 1988, is a Bedoun. Given the presence of weapons and official-looking equipment, authorities believe he may have committed robberies by posing as a detective. The suspect will also be referred to the General Department for Drug Control for further questioning regarding possession of narcotics, before being handed over to the Public Prosecution once investigations are complete.

Love, Lies & Heroin: Fugitive Girlfriend Turns In Drug-Dealing Boyfriend
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 5: Authorities from the General Department for Drug Control took into custody two expatriates, a man accused of drug trafficking and his girlfriend, both sharing the same nationality and not legally married. The suspects were referred for investigation, along with a large bag believed to contain heroin, two necklaces, a bracelet, two rings, and KD 500 in cash, which the male suspect claimed was proceeds from drug sales. Notably, the heroin bag was handed to officers voluntarily by the girlfriend. A security source stated that a report was filed with the Ministry of Interior's operations room alleging that the man was using his apartment in Jahra's Block 2 as a base for distributing narcotics.

Kuwait Cracks Down: Indians Caught in Daring Alcohol Smuggling Operation
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 5: In a dramatic sting operation, Kuwaiti authorities have foiled a bold attempt to smuggle a stash of imported liquor hidden inside a shipping container — and arrested two Indian nationals in connection with the scheme. The container, which arrived at Kuwait's Shuaiba Port from a Gulf nation, was declared empty on paper. But sharp-eyed customs officers grew suspicious and ordered a full inspection. What they uncovered was anything but empty — the container's floor had been cleverly modified with secret compartments housing professionally packaged bottles of alcohol. Acting swiftly, the General Administration of Customs coordinated with the General Department for Drug Control (GDDC). Rather than seizing the shipment immediately, officials allowed the container to proceed under tight surveillance to a warehouse in the Ahmadi area. There, a trap was sprung. Authorities arrested two men — identified as Hanifa Muleri Nadu Velailey and Panika Veetil Javar Jaser — just as they were preparing to receive the illicit cargo. According to investigators, the pair confessed they had been acting under the direction of a man named 'Zaheer' who is believed to be operating from India. The Ministry of Interior has vowed to continue cracking down on smuggling operations in cooperation with customs, stressing its commitment to safeguarding national security and stamping out illegal substances.
