A man posing as a Kuwait detective knocked at the door of an apartment in the emirate and told its two Pakistani dwellers that they are wanted.
He ordered them to hand him over their purses and asked them to report to the police centre in Al Jaleeb area in Kuwaiti City.
“When they two went to the police centre, they were told they are not wanted and that no police man had been sent to them,” Alanba newspaper said on Sunday.
It quoted the two as saying their purses contained around KD60 ($204) and ID papers. “He spoke Kuwait accent…he just took our purses and disappeared but we did not ask for his ID,” one said.
