The police in Madina, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has
just arrested a bus driver who had stolen a huge sum of $36,000. This sum of
money was not just stolen from anyone but an Arab Pilgrim who had come to the
Holy City of Madinah in order to perform the pilgrimage. A pilgrim in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the most respected person due to many reasons.
Firstly, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a host for all of the Muslim pilgrims
making their way for the Major Pilgrimage also known as Hajj and the Minor Pilgrimage
known as Umrah. Secondly stealing from someone who has come from a foreign land
to pray to Allah will not only earn the wrath of Allah, but also the dismay or
disregard of the pilgrim.[irp]
Colonel Saleh Awad Al Jabri, the supervisor of this
investigation has stated that this team had been able to arrest the suspect
within only 12 hours after the police had received the report about this
incident or robbery. In accordance with the report or statement made by the
plaintiff, he had kept a sum of $31,500 and another sum of SAR 18,500 and a
mobile phone in his bag and left it in his hotel room, which he presumed would
be a safe place to keep his belongings. However, once he returned to the hotel
room, he noticed that his money bag was missing.
Colonel Al Jabri stated that he and his team took
immediate action to apprehend the suspected culprit upon the basis of
information which had been provided to them by the plaintiff. The police team
apprehended the suspected thief while he had been driving his vehicle from the
Holy City of Madinah to the Holy City of Makkah. At first, the driver of the
vehicle denied having any knowledge of this money bag. However soon after
conducting a search of the vehicle, the police team found the money bag in
question, hidden very intricately inside the trunk of the vehicle.
Once the money bag had been found and recovered
from the trunk of the car, the driver had no choice left and confessed to
hiding the vehicle inside the trunk of the car.
The arrested driver is reported to be of Asian descent, who works as a
bus driver on the route between Makkah and Madinah. The bus driver will be referred on over to
the judicial authorities after the police had completed all of their
formalities.
The efforts made by Colonel Al Jabri have shown the
professionalism and fine training which is equipped by the police authorities
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is nothing short of perfection to apprehend
the suspect within the 12 hours and to also recover the hidden money bag from
the trunk of the car, and for this, the police team along with the Colonel
deserve a round of applause and acknowledgment for their great efforts.
