KUWAIT: Major General Abdelhameed Al-Awadhi, Interior Ministry Assistant Undersecretary for Criminal Activity Affairs, ordered five expats including two American women to concerned authorities for possession of drugs for trade and use.
The instructions came about the expats’ arrest by Drugs Control General Department in three separate cases. A security source said that the local Drugs Fighting Department learned that two American women were trading in drugs. A team was formed and the two were arrested at a Mangaf-area flat where 250g of marijuana was also found. Both said the drugs were smuggled in for selling.
Meanwhile the same department worked on a tip off about two Indian nationals selling heroin in Farwaniya. The flat where they lived was raided and 100g of the drug was also found. In a similar incident, a Bangladeshi who works as a taxi driver was arrested after a tip off. The man’s flat in Jleeb was raided after information about him cooperating with a central prison inmate and 70g of heroin was found.
