Muscat: The Royal Oman Police (ROP) have arrested three Arab suspects on charges of theft and sabotage in Seeb suburb, according to a press release on Monday.
“After interrogation, the three suspects confessed that they had stolen 9,000 Omani riyals from a store in Seeb and damaged the property,” a spokesperson for the ROP’s public relations department said, adding that all three had entered the country illegally.
He urged citizens and residents in Oman not to harbour illegal residents and report any suspicious or criminal activities near their houses.
Meanwhile, the police have arrested three more persons from a hotel apartment in Al Khuwair area on charges of prostitution. “All three, including two women, are from different Arab countries and were using the hotel apartment for immoral activities,” he added.
“During our investigations, we found that the apartments were frequented by many people and our suspicion grew,” he said, adding that they sought the permission of the public prosecution to raid the hotel apartment and arrested the suspects.
The police spokesperson appealed to citizens and residents to report such practices in order to preserve the values and morals of society.
Meanwhile, the Barka police arrested six Asians on charges of stealing electrical cables. An ROP patrol arrested the suspects from an industrial estate area while they were burning the coated wires.
