Two people were arrested in Kuwait’s Hawally Governorate after security officers found a carton of imported liquor in their vehicle at a checkpoint.
According to a security source, officers became suspicious when they noticed the occupants appearing nervous. A search of the vehicle uncovered the liquor. The pair reportedly said they had bought it for “fun” and were taking it to an apartment they had rented in the governorate.
They did not disclose where they had obtained the liquor. Officers therefore referred both individuals to the General Department for Drug Control to determine whether the possession was solely for personal use or served another purpose.
