TAIF: Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in Taif arrested a Saudi taxi driver who blackmailed a Saudi widow into giving him her government welfare money totaling SR13,600.

Salem Al-Sarawani, spokesman for the commission in Makkah, said the commission received a complaint about the man from the woman.

“The woman decided to seek the help of the commission after the man started sending her photos to her son,” he said, adding that the man was arrested close to her home.
