KUWAIT CITY, March 4: A Kuwaiti citizen who allegedly impersonated a detective to rob expatriates has been arrested by Salmiya detectives. The suspect reportedly admitted to committing ten robberies, taking advantage of the victims' fear of the police.
Several expatriates who had filed complaints were able to identify the suspect during a visual identification procedure, and he was found to have used a forged ID in his crimes. He has been handed over to the prosecution for legal proceedings.
According to a security source, a team was formed to arrest the suspect after several robbery cases were reported where victims were detained by an unknown person who claimed to be a detective and then robbed of their money and phones. The suspect was arrested in the Maidan Hawally area and was born in 1995.
