Police recently arrested an American woman and a Bangladeshi for trading in drugs.
After receiving information about an American woman - a civilian employee in the US Army who was allegedly selling drugs, a team of security officers from the Drug Control General Department (DCGD) put her under surveillance. The team later instructed an undercover agent to buy marijuana from the suspect, who agreed to meet the agent at an undisclosed location to complete the bogus deal. She was arrested during the entrapment operation.
During interrogation, the woman admitted the crime and told police that she obtained the drugs from a Bangladeshi. She provided police with information on the whereabouts of her supplier, who was also arrested with a large quantity of drugs in his possession.
In another unrelated development, securitymen arrested two Kuwaitis for trafficking in drugs with 35 kilos of hashish worth $200,000 in their possession.

Acting on a tip-off, General Director of the Drug Control General Department (DCGD) Major General Sheikh Ahmed Al- Abdullah Al-Khalifa Al-Sabah instructed a team of officers to put the suspects under surveillance. Initial investigations revealed one of the suspects was released from the Central Jail three weeks ago after serving time for a similar offense.
After ascertaining that the suspects are trading in drugs, the team sent an undercover agent to purchase three rolls of hashish worth KD 50 from one of the Kuwaitis, who agreed to meet the agent in Qurain. He was arrested upon completion of the bogus transaction.
During interrogation, the suspect admitted the crime and told police that he got the hashish from a compatriot, who is also selling drugs. He guided police to the house of the latter in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh, resulting in the arrest of the second suspect and confiscation of 35 kilos hashish. He also admitted the crime, disclosing he learned the trade from some inmates in the Central Jail.
