After verifying his identity, they found he was an employee of the Ministry. Following this, a precautionary search of his vehicle uncovered pills suspected to be Lyrica, a piece of hashish, drug-use tools, a 9mm firearm, bullets, a magazine, and assorted ammunition.
The suspect and his vehicle have been referred to the General Department for Drug Control for further investigation.
In a statement released to the public, Kuwait’s Interior Ministry emphasised that no one is above the law, reaffirming its commitment to enforcing the law fairly and firmly in order to preserve the integrity of the security establishment and maintain public safety and stability.
