Arrests

Hawally police arrested a citizen wanted by Interpol in Salmiya. Police spotted a speeding car, then when the driver was asked to pull over, he did not, so he was chased and caught. Police found he is a 55-year-old citizen wanted on a KD 500,000 financial case by Interpol. He was sent to concerned authoritie­s. Separately, a non-commission­ed officer arrested a citizen sentenced to 15 years in jail who escaped while the sentence was being announced at the end of September, as he was convicted along with a high-ranking officer of blackmail and framing. The officer was sentenced to five years and sent to the central prison, but the citizen, who was sentenced to 15 years, was able to escape from the Palace of Justice and was placed on the wanted list. A security source said the suspect went to court for a transactio­n, but the non-commission­ed officer there recognized him and caught him. He was sent to the criminal implementa­tion department to serve his sentence. In other news, Najda police arrested a bedoon, two Iraqi men and an Arab girl in an SUV late at night. The four were sent to vice detectives over suspicions of immoral acts. One of the Iraqis was found to be an ex-convict.
