Asian Expats Caught With Narcotics in Separate Incidents Across Kuwait

KUWAIT CITY, April 5: Security authorities referred an Asian expatriate, born in 1998, to emergency patrols in the Ahmadi Governorate after he was arrested in the Mangaf area in possession of the narcotic substance "crystal meth." The drugs were confiscated, and an official report was filed.

According to a security source, patrol units are deployed across most parts of the country. During a routine patrol in Ahmadi, officers noticed the man behaving suspiciously. When they stopped him, he appeared confused. As he presented his identification, a small bag fell from his possession, which was later found to contain heroin. Upon further search, officers discovered another bag containing shabu and drug paraphernalia.

The source added that the man pleaded with the officers to let him go, but his request was denied. He was handed over to the General Department for Drug Control, and deportation procedures are now underway.

In a separate incident, Farwaniya security personnel arrested another Asian expatriate found in possession of narcotic pills intended for personal use. The man was spotted walking in the Farwaniya Governorate and attempted to flee when approached, but was quickly apprehended. He is being referred to the anti-narcotics department.

Meanwhile, rescue patrols in the Capital Governorate impounded a wanted vehicle and handed it over to judicial authorities. A report was filed regarding the vehicle.
