Man enters Bahrain hiding inside a wooden container

Failure to procure a valid entry visa to Bahrain has prompted a man to enter the Kingdom illegally by hiding inside a wooden container. Police came to know about his adventure when he was arrested in Muharraq during a clampdown against beggars. The 45-year-old man, an Asian by nationality, revealed his story to prosecutors when he was asked to present his ID and visa.

The man, according to police officers, was caught while he was asking for jobs while stopping cars. “We saw a man stopping cars looking for a job. When we asked him his ID and visa permit, he admitted that he entered the Kingdom illegally,” a police officer who participated in the clampdown told prosecutors.
