KUWAIT CITY, Oct 19: As part of its ongoing campaign to maintain public safety and combat all forms of criminal activity, the Ministry of Interior (MOI), through its Criminal Security Sector, has arrested two Kuwaiti citizens employed by the Ministry of Defense for their involvement in a violent robbery in Hawalli Governorate.

According to the MOI, the Operations Room received a report from an Asian expat who stated that two unidentified men attacked and robbed him. One of the suspects physically assaulted the victim while the other seized his belongings before fleeing the scene.

Immediately after receiving the report, the Hawalli Governorate Investigations Department, represented by the Salmiya Investigations Office, initiated an extensive investigation. Officers visited the crime scene, reviewed surveillance footage, and collected critical evidence, which eventually led to the identification of the perpetrators—both confirmed to be Ministry of Defense employees.

Through the use of advanced technical methods, investigators tracked down and arrested one of the suspects. Upon questioning, he confessed to committing the crime in collaboration with his accomplice. The second suspect was later lured into a controlled operation and subsequently arrested. During their arrest, officers found suspected narcotics and drug paraphernalia in their possession.

The necessary legal procedures have been initiated, and both suspects, along with the seized materials, have been referred to the competent authorities for further action.

The Ministry of Interior reiterated its firm commitment to safeguarding national security and public safety, emphasizing that it will not tolerate or show leniency toward anyone—regardless of their position—who seeks to undermine the law or endanger citizens and residents.

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 18: In a coordinated operation held on Friday, October 17, 2025, security authorities carried out a large-scale security and traffic campaign in the Kabd area, under the direct supervision of Major General Hamed Manahi Al-Dawas, Assistant Undersecretary for Public Security Affairs, and in the presence of Brigadier Dukheil Al-Dukheil, Head of the Special Security and Reform Institutions Sector.

The campaign was jointly implemented by units from the Criminal Security Sector, the Traffic and Operations Sector, and the General Directorate of Special Security Forces. It aimed to strengthen law enforcement efforts, enhance public safety, and curb illegal activities in the area.

During the operation, authorities recorded 357 various traffic violations, arrested 15 individuals wanted by law, and detained five persons for violating residency and labor regulations. Legal action was taken against all offenders in accordance with existing laws and procedures.

The Ministry of Interior emphasized that such campaigns are part of its broader strategy to uphold security, enforce the rule of law, and ensure the safety of both citizens and residents. The initiative also seeks to reduce reckless driving, traffic offenses, and other behaviors that endanger lives on public and rural roads.

The Ministry reiterated its commitment to continuing intensive field campaigns across all regions of the country, reaffirming its dedication to protecting public safety, maintaining order, and combating all unlawful practices that disrupt social stability.

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 18: The Deputy Public Prosecutor has instructed forensic experts to collect fingerprints and any other potential evidence left behind by unknown thieves. This directive followed a report filed by a citizen, acting as the legal representative of an oil company, regarding a theft at the company’s site in Bar Al-Rawdatain. According to the report, the stolen items included seven cables, each measuring eight meters in length. The incident has been officially registered as a theft and classified as a felony.

In a separate case, the Deputy Public Prosecutor also ordered forensic teams to be dispatched to the Bar Al-Mutlaa area. This action came after a citizen, serving as an authorized representative of the Ministry of Electricity and Water, reported a fault in the electrical connections at a ministry site. Upon inspection, technical teams discovered that the site had been broken into. The stolen items included a fenced electrical tower, and the perpetrators had climbed the perimeter to remove 415 circular fence wires, each 19 mm in diameter, along with seven iron support angles. The total value of the stolen materials has been estimated at KWD 2,128.
