JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA (ARAB NEWS) — Police here arrested one Somali and eight Ethiopians, all men between the ages of 20 and 30, who are accused of being members of a gang that would monitor banks and rob people coming out of them. The arrest stems from one incident in which a Yemeni exited a bank in Jeddah’s Al-Aziziyah district in the north of the city with SR55,000.

The men followed him and broke into his vehicle as he stopped for lunch.

It is unclear how the police came to arrest the nine men. Police did say they knew the men had been monitoring banks for some time.

  1. The son of Ethiopian diplomat is not a surprise to me just he did what has learnt from his parents. He robbed bank not because he has no money but it is a bad habit he has inherited. The deplomats also passed what they have learnt from their leader. Meles Zenawi is a sole responsible for all these Ethiopians names spoil, we have never had such experiece in my life.

  2. some Ethiopians are turning criminals in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and South Africa. The ones in South Africa are the worst of all. It is very sad that our young citizens turning criminals. We have to stop this criminal tendencey by condemning the criminal acts.
