KUWAIT: A citizen working for the Ministry of Interior was arrested in Farwaniya for robbing several expats in Jleeb Al-Shuyiukh, said security sources, noting that many of the victims identified the robber in a lineup. Case papers indicate that an Asian man reported that he had been robbed by a man in police uniform driving an SUV in Jleeb. A few minutes later, another expat showed up at the police station filing a similar complaint, giving the same description of the suspect. Both complainers said that the robber stole their mobile phones and money. After arresting the suspect within 24 hours, he was pinpointed by the two victims in a police lineup.

Physical assault

A bedoon and a GCC national exchanged accusations at Khaitan police station where the former claimed that the GCC national's son assaulted his nephew and presented a medical report stating nine stitches in the head. The latter, on the other hand, accused the bedoon of assaulting his son and wounding him as well. A case was filed and further investigations are in progress.
