KUWAIT CITY, Oct 3: Police recently arrested an American man wanted by law for duping an unidentified person to the tune of KD 12,000.
The security officers got suspicious when the American looked nervous when he approached a security checkpoint in Salmiya. The officers demanded for his identification documents and checked his security records, which showed that he had earlier evaded arrest for a financial case. He was referred to the relevant security department for prosecution.

Two youths held for theft: Police arrested two Kuwaiti youths, aged 18 and 23, in possession of a stolen prefabricated room in Wafra area. Patrols on routine duty noticed the structure at the back of the youths’ vehicle and asked them to pull over. The youths got jittery during the search and though they claimed that the structure belonged to their livestock pen, they eventually confessed their crime at the police station.
A case was registered.

Citizen’s car stolen: A Kuwaiti man reported the theft of his car at Jahra Police Station. He said he parked his car in front of his house in Oyoun area and that he discovered the theft at night when he wanted to go out.
Police are conducting investigations, based on information provided by the complainant.

Cash, passports stolen: Police are looking for an unidentified person for stealing 11 passports and KD 2,000 from the car of an Egyptian man who works for a company in Mina Abdullah, reports Al-Watan Arabic daily. The Egyptian said the suspect broke the side glass of the vehicle, stole the documents and the money and escaped.
He told police he saw an Indian man standing nearby when he parked the car and went away for some time.
When he returned, the Indian, the passports and the money were gone.

Syrian beaten, robbed: Police have taken into custody two youths for impersonating military intelligence men, beating a Syrian and robbing his money, reports Al-Shahed daily.
The men were arrested when the Syrian filed a complaint with the Hawalli police when the suspects claimed to be working for Kuwait’s military intelligence, barged into his home, handcuffed him, beat him and robbed his money and escaped.
The complainant also pointed a finger of accusation at his brother-in-law and when police summoned him for interrogation, he admitted to the charge and said he wanted to punish the man. He also guided police to the two youths whom he had hired to do the job.
The brother-in-law also said he bought the ‘handcuffs’ and a ‘revolver’ from a toy shop.
The three persons have been referred to the Public Prosecution.
