Security forces at King Fahd International Airport, in coordination with Dammam policemen, have arrested two citizens after they impersonated two security men and stole SR40,000 from an Asian accountant.

Spokesman for the Eastern Province Police, Col. Ziad Al-Ruqaiti, said that the security forces received a communication from the Asian man: “The two men have cheated me by claiming that they are policemen, asking me to accompany them to their vehicle, where they robbed the money and then escaped,” the Asian man complained.

Al-Rugaiti said that King Fahd Airport policemen have investigated in the incident, and are taking the necessary procedures and gathering preliminary information to identify the perpetrators in Dammam.

Al-Rugaiti said that in coordination with Dammam security forces, the perpetrators were arrested within a few hours, and the stolen money was found in their possession.

“The Asian man restored his money after taking the necessary actions, referring the accused to investigation department and prosecution,” the spokesman concluded.
