KUWAIT CITY, Aug 27: During a crackdown on beggars the Hawalli police recently arrested four women - two Arabs from an unidentified country who entered the country on visit visas, one bedoun and one Kuwaiti, reports Al-Anba.

The Arab women have been referred to the concerned authorities prior to their deportation from the country, while the bedoun was made to sign a pledge not to return to begging and released.
