Cairo: Saudi police have arrested 14 expatriates in Riyadh for stealing copper cables worth over SR8 million.

The offenders are 12 Pakistanis and two Afghans.

According to a police statement, the cables, valued at SR8.3 million, were stolen from buildings under construction and warehouses in Riyadh using stolen vehicles.

In May, police arrested several Bangladeshi expatriates involved in a public brawl in Riyadh. The offenders were captured in a video quarrelling in a public area.

Additionally, in October, police in H’ail, north-western Saudi Arabia, arrested six women who were seen in a viral video engaging in a fistfight at a coffee shop, exchanging punches and kicks as workers watched in astonishment.
