KUWAIT CITY, May 29: In a bizarre incident, two intoxicated individuals stole a vehicle from a stable in the Mutlaa area, but ended up getting both the stolen car and their own vehicle stuck in the desert.

According to details, the stable’s guard informed the Ministry of Interior Operations that a four-wheel drive vehicle belonging to his sponsor had been stolen while he was asleep. A security source stated that the report was immediately circulated among Interior Ministry personnel. While investigators were combing the area, they found the stolen vehicle as the suspects were attempting to free it from the sand.

The source added that the two individuals appeared to be under the influence of drugs and were found in possession of narcotics. During questioning, they confessed that their own car had gotten stuck, prompting them to enter the stable and steal another vehicle to free it, only to get that one stuck as well. In a further twist, the suspects even contacted a rescue service to help recover the vehicles.
