Trio arrested for trading in banned sexual enhancers

KUWAIT: Residency detectives managed to arrest a gang including three expats for trading with banned sexual enhancers. Case papers indicate that detectives were tipped off about an Arab man selling the enhancers in Sabah AlSalem. He was later on arrested with possession of some of the merchandise he sold, the Interior Ministry’s relations and security media department said in a statement. The suspect led detectives to his source; another expat, who was arrested in Farwaniya with possession of another quantity. The second suspect also led detectives to his supplier; a third expat living in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh who was also arrested with possession of a large quantity and admitted of distributing the merchandise through various distributors in several areas. A case was filed and further investigations are in progress.

Sorcery

An Asian man was arrested for sorcery, said security sources, noting that several reports were made about the suspect’s activities. Some of the complainants told police that their maids were seeking the suspect’s help to ‘bewitch’ their sponsors and have them increase their salaries, stop punishing them for mistakes and make them loved by all family members. The source added that the suspect’s house was placed under close surveillance before it was raided, and he was arrested red-handed while serving an undercover agent.

Mubarakiya and the Seafront food control inspectors carried out several inspection campaigns on restaurants and stores in Qibla, Mubarakiya, Sharq and Benaid Al-Gar. The crackdowns resulted in confiscating and destroying 283 kilograms of fish and filing 14 citations.
