KUWAIT: A Sudanese man obstructed traffic in Ardiya after he stopped his car in the middle of the road and fell asleep under the influence of drugs. Motorists called police after he did not respond. Police arrived and found him sleeping with a hashish cigarette still burning in his hand, so they opened the car and woke him up. He was arrested and drugs were found on him. He was sent to the Drugs Control General Department (DCGD).

Meanwhile, Farwaniya police arrested a Jordanian man with two hashish joints, an envelope containing drugs and drugs paraphernalia, and he was sent to the DCGD. The man was stopped by police because his car was in need of repairs. When the policeman spoke to him, he seemed to be in an abnormal condition, then refused to get out of the car, so he was forced out despite resisting.

Separately, two men, Syrian and Jordanian, were arrested in Salwa late at night under the influence of drugs. The two were stopped by a police patrol, who found drugs and psychoactive pills on them. They were taken to the DCGD.

Fugitives caught

Police in Salhiya arrested an Egyptian after he ran away from them. He first denied having an ID on him, so he was fingerprinted and identified. He was found wanted on a forgery case that took place two years ago. He was taken to residency affairs detectives for further legal action before being deported.

In a separate case, police in Industrial Shuwaikh asked a man for his ID, but he fled and disappeared among the garages, so they searched the area and found him hiding under a car. Police discovered he is a Lebanese wanted for a felony committed in 2016. He is also wanted in a civil case. He was taken to the police station to face legal action. The suspect is also in violation of the residency law. - Translated by Kuwait Times from Al-Rai
