A recent incident involved two Saudis in a pickup truck who pulled over next to a Saher vehicle and threw a metal bar on the car, smashing the window and injuring the driver.
The driver suffered minor injuries and he was transferred to King Saud Hospital. Police launched a manhunt to catch the attackers.
Recently, a video clip that circulated on the Internet and over mobile phones showed a Saher car pulling over on a main road. A number of Saudi teenagers then started attacking the vehicle and threw rocks at it. The driver was left with no option but to escape from the area before the attacks escalated.
This is not the first such incident in Buraidah. In September last year, a youth threw an iron bar at a Saher car while driving at high speed. The rod broke the windshield, damaging cameras and other equipment inside.
In Makkah, a Saher vehicle was attacked when five men, three of them dressed in military uniform, assaulted two operators.
Last March in Jeddah, an unknown thief stole a Saher camera from a vehicle stationed at Prince Miteb (Arbaeen) Street. The theft occurred when the vehicle's driver and operators went to the mosque for Asr prayer. The equipment inside the car were valued at an estimated SR500,000.
In Madinah, a young Saudi, bitter after having been fined numerous times, stood by the city’s Prince Naif Street waving a stick at passing motorists to warn them that a Saher vehicle was parked up ahead.
