Dubai: Two Saudi brothers have been arrested in Kuwait for allegedly robbing expatriates and targeting groceries, local media reported.

One of the brothers has reportedly posed as a Municipal officer while the other impersonated as senior police officer.

According to a security source, the duo carried out their criminal activities over a period of 10 days, until the CID personnel got suspicious about their activities.
