Gang detained for sorcery in Madinah
RIYADH: Police in Madinah arrested a gang of four, including a woman, who tried to dupe foreign workers, claiming it could give them their own national currency notes through sorcery.
Madinah police said the members of the gang, including the Asian woman, tried to earn a fast buck by cheating the innocent workers who were anxious to get their own national currency through sorcery. The police did not reveal the nationality of the men.
The gang members would bring their prey to a secret place, stealing the cash from the victims’ wallets when they were in a state of meditation, the police said, adding that the group had even rented a car from an office in Makkah.
Those arrested will be deported after a formal inquiry to ascertain the degree of their respective offenses.
