KUWAIT CITY, April 9: The incident, which resembled a scene from a movie, took place in Farwaniya when the accused stopped an Egyptian man on the street, assaulted him, stole his phone, and fled in his vehicle. However, just fifteen minutes later, the accused was surprised to find himself being chased by a highway patrol, who ordered him to pull over immediately.

When the accused stopped at the side of the road as instructed, he was astonished to see the man whose phone he had stolen clinging to the roof of his vehicle. The victim informed the police that he had held on to the car because the driver had forcibly stolen his phone. The police immediately arrested the suspect and referred him to the appropriate authorities.

During his appearance before the criminal court, the accused interrupted the judge as soon as he began to read out the charges, saying, “That’s not true.” The judge responded, “I haven’t even started the charge yet—listen first, then respond.” Still, the accused repeated, “That’s not true.” The judge proceeded to list the charges, to which the accused responded with the same phrase. The court adjourned the case and appointed a lawyer to represent the accused, who denied the charges even before hearing them.

KUWAIT CITY, May 14: An investigator at the Hawally Police Station has ordered to placement an expatriate on the wanted list and imposed a travel ban, following a citizen’s complaint of being defrauded of KD 11,000. The decision was made after the complainant reported that the accused not only refused to return the money but also blocked all forms of communication.

According to a security source, the case has been classified as a “breach of trust.” The victim, a Kuwaiti citizen born in 1956, told police that he met the expatriate, born in 1974, who persuaded him to invest in what he claimed was a highly profitable auction business. The complainant stated, “I believed in him, especially when he claimed that the investment would double within a year. On February 9, I gave him KD 7,000 in cash and two Rolex watches valued at KD 4,000.”

However, the promised profits never materialized. “Weeks and months passed with no return on the investment. When I contacted him, he gave me a small sum of money and then disappeared, cutting off all communication and blocking my number,” the victim added. Authorities continue their investigation, while steps are being taken to prevent the accused from leaving the country.
