Sexual harassment

A security officer at a co-op in Mubarak Al-Kabeer was arrested on accusations of sexual harassment, said security sources. Case papers indicate that a 20-year-old woman was shopping when the security officer started chasing her around the supermarket asking for her phone number, which made her leave and report the matter to her father, who took her to the police station to file a complaint. The girl’s claims were verified by checking CCTV videos. The harasser was arrested and a case was filed.

Drunkards arrested

Jahra detectives put an end to disturbance caused to the landlord and neighbors by a drunkard, said security sources. Case papers indicate that the owner of a Jahra building reported that one of his tenants has been repeatedly disturbing his neighbors. Rushing to the scene, detectives arrested the man, who was drunk, and confiscated nine liquor bottles he had in his possession. The suspect was referred to relevant authorities pending further legal actions. Another drunkard was arrested after he stopped a police patrol asking for a lift to a gas station and back to refuel his vehicle, said security sources. Case papers indicate that a police patrol stopped to offer help to a man waving to them. “I want you to drive me to a gas station and bring me back. My car ran out of fuel,” he told them. However, the policemen suspected the way he talked and he reeked of liquor, so they arrested him. A case was filed.
