KUWAIT CITY, Sep 16: Khaitan detectives have launched intensive investigations into two expatriates suspected of involvement in a series of state property thefts. Authorities are working to determine the scope of the thefts, the number of incidents committed, and how the stolen materials were disposed of.
According to a security source, during a routine patrol in Khaitan the day before yesterday, detectives spotted two men emerging from an electrical transformer. When officers ordered them to stop, the suspects abandoned a bag and attempted to flee on foot. They were swiftly pursued and arrested.
