Stepfather beats daughter over late night phone calls

KUWAIT: A female minor went to the Fintas police station to file a complaint against her stepfather for beating her and taking her mobile away. When he was questioned by the police regarding his actions, the stepfather complained that the young woman was ‘naive’, spending late nights on her mobile and that he took the phone away to protect her from harm.
Swindler accused
A citizen in her 40s accused a Saudi national of swindling her out of KD 5,000 when he convinced her to buy a car, according to a complaint she lodged at Ali Sabah Al-Salem police. A security source said the citizen was told by the Saudi that he wanted to sell his brother’s car and she transferred the money to him, and asked him for the title. But after receiving the money, he ignored her calls and did not transfer the title. Detectives are investigating,
Mandoob robbed
A Egyptian mandoob had KD 950 stolen from him. A man followed him after he left a domestic help office in Hawally, then attacked him, beat him with a stick, robbed him of the money then fled. The Egyptian was helped by others who took him to Meidan Hawally police station where he lodged a complaint.
