Kuwaiti held in drug trafficking : Anti-narcotics officers have arrested a Kuwaiti for trading in drugs with a kilo of heroin in his possession.
After receiving information on an unemployed Kuwaiti trafficking in drugs, Director General of the Drug Control General Department (DCGD) Major General Ahmad Al-Khalifa instructed head of the Local Drug Fighting Administration Colonel Ahmad Al-Shargawi and his assistant, Lieutenant Colonel Abdulmohsen Al-Abbasi, to verify the information.
Al-Shargawi formed a team of officers who put the suspect under surveillance. The team arranged an entrapment immediately after gathering enough evidence. They sent an undercover agent to purchase five grams of heroin from the suspect who agreed to deliver the drugs at an undisclosed area in Sabahiya. The citizen was arrested upon completion of the bogus transaction.
The Kuwaiti tried to resist arrest but the securitymen overpowered him and referred him to the relevant security department for the necessary legal action. During the interrogation, the citizen admitted the crime and told police that he is selling heroin on behalf of an inmate, who is currently serving time for trading in drugs. He also guided police to his flat in Bneid Al-Gar where they found a kilo of heroin and some trading tools.
