KUWAIT: A bedoon juvenile died of electrocution in a swimming pool at his family's stable in Jahra. Police and paramedics rushed to the stable and found the boy in a critical condition, so he was taken to Jahra Hospital, where doctors' attempts to revive him failed.

Kidnappers arrested

Policemen freed a juvenile from two bedoons who kidnapped him after befriending him on social media, then met and threatened to kill him if he did not obey them. Police patrol in Jaber Al-Ahmad noticed a car with three persons inside, two bedoons and a 17-year-old citizen who seemed scared. They all claimed to be friends, but the nervousness of the citizen made police question him alone, and he asked for their help. The two bedoons were arrested and they had a knife they used to threaten the boy.

False reports

Egyptian authorities denied reports about detaining a Kuwaiti at Cairo airport for a long time for carrying Egyptian currency in violation of the law. Sources told Al-Rai local daily that the matter was settled quickly after he arrived at Luxor airport and declared to authorities he had 30,000 Egyptian pounds. He was told this violated Egyptian laws.

Drug abuse

A bedoon girl was taken to Salmiya police station and was charged with being under the influence of drugs and insulting policemen. A police source denied social media reports that police threw the woman from the seventh floor. The source said residents of a building complained about disturbance in a flat, so a patrol was dispatched. When they knocked at the door, a girl opened a window on the door and hurled insults at police. A warrant was obtained, the flat was raided and the girl arrested.

Arsonist arrested

Ahmadi detectives arrested an arsonist who torched his wife's car. Police responded to a call about a fire in a luxury car, and the owner said she suspected her Syrian husband who left home recently. When the husband was arrested and asked about the incident, he denied it initially, but later confessed to burning the car because she kicked him out of the house. He said his wife, who is 15 years his senior, not only kicked him out but threatened to deport him so he decided to take revenge.
