Bedoun Caught Impersonating Cop; Found with Guns and Narcotics
KUWAIT CITY, June 25: Officers from the West Abdullah Al-Mubarak Police Station have referred a Bedoun (stateless individual) to the General Department of Criminal Investigation on suspicion of involvement in a string of robberies by impersonating a security officer.
The arrest followed a routine patrol in the West Abdullah Al-Mubarak area, where police noticed a vehicle whose driver appeared visibly anxious upon spotting the patrol. When officers attempted to approach, the suspect fled at high speed, prompting a pursuit. Backup was called, and the vehicle was eventually cornered and brought to a stop.
Upon inspection, authorities discovered a cache of suspicious items inside the car, including a Kalashnikov rifle, a pistol, two walkie-talkies, four mobile phones, a bag containing the crystal meth drugs, a strip of stimulant pills, drug paraphernalia, and a security badge linked to the Public Security Sector.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect, born in 1988, is a Bedoun. Given the presence of weapons and official-looking equipment, authorities believe he may have committed robberies by posing as a detective. The suspect will also be referred to the General Department for Drug Control for further questioning regarding possession of narcotics, before being handed over to the Public Prosecution once investigations are complete.

One Million Captagon Pills Seized in Major Kuwait Drug Bust
KUWAIT CITY, June 27: As part of its ongoing efforts to combat drug-related crimes and safeguard society from their devastating impact, the Criminal Security Sector—represented by the General Department for Drug Control—has successfully carried out a high-precision operation, seizing approximately one million Captagon pills. The operation was launched after authorities received credible intelligence regarding the suspect's involvement in narcotics smuggling and distribution. A well-coordinated security ambush led to his arrest, during which a large quantity of Captagon was found in his possession. The suspect attempted to resist arrest and obstruct law enforcement officers but was quickly subdued without any injuries reported. Further investigations and search procedures at the suspect's residence uncovered forged documents, revealing that he had illegally obtained Kuwaiti citizenship. In response, a joint task force was formed between the General Department for Drug Control and the Nationality Affairs Investigations Department to pursue the forgery case and initiate the necessary legal proceedings. The Ministry of Interior reaffirmed its commitment to an integrated and sustained security strategy in the fight against drugs, vowing to protect the nation and its people by taking decisive action against anyone who threatens public safety and national security.
