KUWAIT CITY, Oct 15: Effective coordination between Fahaheel detectives and the Kuwait Municipality, represented by Ahmadi Municipality Director Saad Al-Khurainj and municipal official Hamoud Akresh, led to the seizure of a large quantity of alcohol in the Sabah Al-Ahmad residential area. Authorities confiscated 97 barrels and 450 bottles of liquor from a store operated by expatriates, along with specialized equipment used for alcohol production. The operation followed a tip-off about an Asian individual involved in selling locally made alcohol.
