The Haia office in Madinah confirmed on Wednesday that its officers had arrested two Saudis and a Burmese, all in their 20s, as well as a Jordanian in his 40s.

The four suspects were handed over to the police while the girl, who was in her second intermediate year in Madinah, was returned to her family.

The Haia said it had been contacted by a citizen who had seen four men and a girl in a rest house in Madinah’s Khalil area.

"Our men raided the rest house and arrested them," a Haia spokesman said.

He said the girl was in an illegal relationship with one of the two Saudis and truanted from school in order to meet him.

The Haia spokesman added that the girl had told her family she was going to school, but instead went to see her boyfriend at the rest house. She was then surprised to see three other men there.

The Haia called on parents to take good care of their young daughters and warned girls not to fall prey to the soft talk from some men who are only looking for sexual relations.

Meanwhile, Haia members in the northern city of Hail arrested an Arab woman on charges of practicing sorcery.

The local Haia office said the woman, who was working in an embroidery shop, offered the service to her customers.

It said the woman collected more than SR68,000 in four months from this business, adding that her husband, who used to bring her customers, was also arrested.
