He said the three teens in a new four-by-four raised suspicion as they panicked seeing a patrol team. “They hadn’t done anything and so the police simply followed them. They then sped off toward the Corniche area where they abandoned the vehicle and ran off on foot. They were, however, caught and arrested,” said Al-Riqati.

He added that the three youngsters have, in the presence of their parents, admitted to police that they stole five different cars in Dammam.
