The last of seven suspects involved in last week's Dhahran Mall harassment incident were arrested in the western province of Asir, police said Tuesday.
An official of the Asir police, who asked not to be named, said the two suspects will be sent to the Eastern Province to face investigation.
Five of their cohorts who were arrested earlier are already in the custody of the Eastern Province.
The suspects have been on the run since a video showing them verbally and physically harassing young women outside a mall in Dhahran was posted on YouTube.
Amid an outrage, Eastern Province Gov. Prince Saud bin Naif ordered an investigation into the case and investigators were able to identify the suspects through the video clip and mall surveillance camera videos plus testimony from witnesses.
Police had said the suspects, who are in their 30s, are students and employees.
Lt. Col. Ziyad Al-Ruqaiti, spokesman of the Eastern Province Police, earlier told Arab News that the suspects will be referred to the Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution for further investigation and legal procedures.
At least two of the suspects reportedly tried to flee from the Kingdom through a border point after the harassment video clip had gone viral on social media networks and news outlets.
