Iraqi harasses woman

A female citizen in her 50s complained against an Iraqi expat who attempted to first seduce her with money. After numerous rejections from her side, he then started throwing trash in front of her flat. She later realized that her house was rented by prostitutes before she moved in, and the Iraqi thought she was one of them. A security source said the Iraqi was knocking at her door at late hours of the night and when he attempted to open the door she screamed prompting him to escape. The Iraqi then started to place money in front of the door, while she kept rejecting him to no avail as he continued to harass her. The woman attempted to inform the building owner but failed. She registered a complaint to the police who also found out the man is already wanted and are working on his arrest.

Asian caught with drugs, liquor

Farwaniya police arrested an Asian with 10 imported liquor bottles on him as well as the drug "Shabu" in the Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh area. The Asian was driving a run-down car late at night so he was stopped and the illicit items were found. He was sent to drugs control general department.

Garbage fight gets messy

A Syrian mechanic went to Salmiya police station and claimed that a citizen who left his car for repairs along with a friend, attacked those in the garage, then took the car by force, so a complaint was lodged and handed to detectives. The two citizens went to the police station as soon as they were summoned, and gave another account of what happened. The first citizen said he did leave the car for repairs and then he went with his friend to collect it, but decided to try it before he pays for the repairs. When he returned he was surprised by the Syrian and his colleagues detaining his friend inside the garage, refusing to let him leave. Later investigations discovered the Syrian's complaint was malicious, thinking this will protect them from being punished. The Syrian and his friends are being held to face further legal action. -- Alrai/Alanbaa
