KUWAIT CITY, July 18: Forensic experts have cleared all possible evidence left behind by unidentified thieves who broke into a Korean vehicle in Jahra. Following the incident, the Public Prosecutor’s Office classified the case as a felony and instructed Jahra detectives to initiate necessary procedures to apprehend the suspect.

The incident came to light after a citizen, born in 1991, filed a complaint at Jahra Police Station. He reported that an unknown individual had smashed the rear window of his vehicle while it was parked in a shopping mall lot. The thief then stole a wallet containing KD 85, various official documents, and the car’s registration book.

KUWAIT CITY, July 18: A 40-year-old Kuwaiti citizen has been detained at the Hawally Police Station on multiple charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol and insulting a public employee while on duty. He has been referred to the forensic evidence department for testing to determine whether his impaired state was solely due to alcohol or if narcotics were also involved.

According to the incident report filed yesterday, two officers from the Hawally Police Station were on patrol when they noticed a vehicle swerving erratically, raising suspicion and concern. The officers activated their patrol lights and signaled the driver to pull over. Although the driver initially ignored the command, he eventually complied.

When one of the officers requested the driver’s identification, the suspect responded mockingly, shouting, “Come on, come on, I’ll crush your head.” He refused to exit the vehicle, and officers noted that his breath indicated he was under the influence. Upon being forcibly removed from the car, the man physically resisted, pushing both officers and striking one of them. Authorities noted that the individual exhibited violent behavior throughout the arrest.
