Two Bedouns Accused of Swindling An Expat For KD 2,400

KUWAIT CITY, July 10: A Jahra police investigator has requested the Criminal Investigation Department in Jahra to locate and bring in two Bedouns for questioning in a case classified as fraud and deception.

According to case details, a 45-year-old expatriate filed a complaint at Jahra Police Station, stating that he had a longstanding friendship with the two Bedouns. He claimed they had convinced him to invest in a business project involving the purchase of camels, asking him for KD 2,400 to buy the livestock and launch the project, promising him a share of the profits after the animals were sold.

The complainant said he transferred the money to them via the "WAMD" Bank service in four installments: KD 10 for the first, KD 390 for the second, and KD 1,000 each for the third and fourth installments.

However, after both Bedouns received the full amount, they began evading him and ignoring his calls. When he finally confronted them, they told him bluntly: “There is no Camel,” and refused to return the money without providing any reason or excuse.

The complainant noted that the incident occurred on March 28 in the Jahra area, in front of a well-known market.

Authorities plan to confront the accused with the victim’s statements and the supporting documents, including his bank balance and transfer records showing the money was sent from his account to the accounts of the defendants.
