Network for Producing Local Alcohol Busted Inside a Home in Al-Rahab

The General Directorate of Criminal Investigation successfully dismantled a criminal network that exploited a residential house in the Rihab area to produce and distribute locally brewed alcohol, as part of continuous security efforts to combat crime and apprehend perpetrators.

The arrest followed intensive investigations and field surveillance that led to identifying and raiding the premises, where approximately 300 containers of alcoholic beverages, each with a capacity of 25 liters, were seized.

An inspection revealed that the three-story house was fully utilized for production operations, alongside the presence of hazardous flammable materials, posing a risk to neighboring residences.

Coordination was carried out with the General Fire Force to secure the site and handle flammable materials, and with the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy to disconnect the power supply in preparation for removing the illegal structures. Coordination was also maintained with the Kuwait Municipality to issue the necessary violations and destroy the seized items.

The Ministry of Interior reaffirmed its ongoing efforts to monitor locations used for criminal activities and apprehend those involved, taking necessary legal action against them to safeguard community security and safety.
