KUWAIT CITY, March 15: As part of its ongoing efforts to combat crime and apprehend lawbreakers, the Criminal Security Sector has conducted intensive campaigns through the General Department of Criminal Investigations in the Farwaniya and Jahra governorates, leading to multiple arrests.

The Farwaniya Investigations Department (Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh Investigations) successfully arrested Asian expats involved in the illegal sale of subsidized food supplies. The suspect was also operating an unlicensed grocery store in the Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh area. Authorities found money obtained from these illegal activities in his possession.

Meanwhile, the Jahra Governorate Investigations Department (Mutlaa Investigations) dismantled a gang specializing in stealing construction materials from houses under construction in the Mutlaa area. Through intensive search and investigation efforts, it was discovered that the suspects rented vehicles to monitor residential plots before stealing construction materials, selling them, and dividing the proceeds among themselves.

All suspects and confiscated items have been handed over to the relevant authorities for legal action. The Ministry of Interior reaffirms its commitment to maintaining security and enforcing the law without leniency against those who violate it or encroach upon public and private property.

KUWAIT CITY, June 30: The Court of Cassation has sentenced a Kuwaiti businesswoman to four years in prison with hard labor and fined her 1,152,000 Kuwaiti dinars after convicting her of defrauding several citizens.
