Bedoun Caught Impersonating Cop; Found with Guns and Narcotics

Published

on


KUWAIT CITY, June 25: Officers from the West Abdullah Al-Mubarak Police Station have referred a Bedoun (stateless individual) to the General Department of Criminal Investigation on suspicion of involvement in a string of robberies by impersonating a security officer.

The arrest followed a routine patrol in the West Abdullah Al-Mubarak area, where police noticed a vehicle whose driver appeared visibly anxious upon spotting the patrol. When officers attempted to approach, the suspect fled at high speed, prompting a pursuit. Backup was called, and the vehicle was eventually cornered and brought to a stop.

Upon inspection, authorities discovered a cache of suspicious items inside the car, including a Kalashnikov rifle, a pistol, two walkie-talkies, four mobile phones, a bag containing the crystal meth drugs, a strip of stimulant pills, drug paraphernalia, and a security badge linked to the Public Security Sector.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect, born in 1988, is a Bedoun. Given the presence of weapons and official-looking equipment, authorities believe he may have committed robberies by posing as a detective. The suspect will also be referred to the General Department for Drug Control for further questioning regarding possession of narcotics, before being handed over to the Public Prosecution once investigations are complete.

Cops Catch Fleeing Suspect With Narcotics, Booze, And Big Cash

Seized items along with the accused were referred to the authorities

KUWAIT CITY, July 21: A man in his thirties was caught red-handed in a dramatic drug bust in Sharq area after trying to resist arrest.

Police patrols spotted the suspect behaving erratically while driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle. As officers approached, the man attempted to flee the scene, triggering a tense pursuit. But the chase didn’t last long; the patrol quickly forced the vehicle to a halt.

Upon searching the vehicle and the suspect, officers discovered a damning stash: two bottles of alcohol, a quantity of narcotics, and a suspicious bundle of KD 1,000 in cash. The man, described by police as being in an “intoxicated state,” was immediately arrested on suspicion of drug use and possession.

The seized items were confiscated, and the accused was handed over to the General Department for Drug Control, where he now faces serious charges related to drug and alcohol possession.

Police sources say the quick response and alertness of the patrol team helped prevent what could have been a dangerous situation on the road.

Egyptian Stole Half a Million… Then Opened a Beauty Clinic — Now He’s in Kuwait Jail

KUWAIT CITY, July 21: The Court of Cassation has sentenced an Egyptian national to 10 years in prison with hard labor for charges of breach of trust, embezzlement, and money laundering during his time as a financial manager at the Kuwait Teachers Association.

In addition to the prison term, the court ordered the defendant to pay a fine of approximately KD 1 million and ruled that he be deported from the country upon completion of his sentence.

The case dates back to 2018, when the accused was found to have manipulated the association’s accounts, repeatedly increasing his own salary, issuing unauthorized payments, and disbursing checks that bounced. Investigations revealed that he had exploited his position to issue five unapproved checks and embezzled over KD 500,000, which he funneled into a private business venture.

The stolen funds were allegedly used to open a cosmetic clinic, which generated over KD 400,000 in profits. The court viewed this as a clear case of laundering illicit gains under the guise of legitimate investment.

The final ruling brings an end to a high-profile case that highlighted serious breaches of financial oversight within the association.
