KUWAIT CITY, July 12: Personnel from Al Waha Police Station have referred two expatriates to the Deportation Center after confirming they had consumed locally brewed alcohol, and they were completely drunk and unable to stand or walk. Both individuals, who hold Domestic Visa (Article 20) residency permits, will be added to the blacklist of individuals banned from re-entering Kuwait.

According to a security source, a Kuwaiti citizen reported the incident to the Ministry of Interior after noticing the two men sitting across from his residence for an extended period at a late hour. Upon approaching them to inquire about their presence, he found them in a highly disoriented and intoxicated state. Although they attempted to flee, they were unable to walk, let alone run.

Public Security officers responded to the report and dispatched a patrol unit to the scene. The two expatriates were apprehended and later admitted to consuming locally produced liquor.
