Riyadh Police Continue Raids in Many Districts
2005-06-26
Police in Riyadh continued their raids in several districts on Friday. According to a police report, the raids are part of a continuing crackdown on all types of illegal activities and those suspected of taking part in them. The areas in which the raids occurred were Al-Janadriya District, Al-Oud District and Al-Thulaim District near Al-Manfooha. The police report said that 30 suspects, all of them illegal residents, were apprehended in Janadriya. A stolen vehicle, originally rented by a Saudi from a car rental company, was also found during the raid. A rented house was raided in which an Indian was found to be running a gambling den. The police also shut down 21 unlicensed businesses specializing in international phone services and arrested six Bangladeshis for running the businesses.

Last week, police officers arrested four Saudis on drug charges in the Haraj Bin Qassim area of Riyadh. A gang which forged iqamas was arrested when police raided the house they operated from. Some 32 forged iqamas, 15 forged passports, and 25 medical certificates were confiscated, in addition to several stamps used by the group to stamp fake documents.
