Five men were arrested by Saudi authorities after stealing tyres from big rigs parked at truck stops in the Muzzamiyah area along the Riyadh-Makkah highway – while drivers slept inside their trucks.
According to Riyadh police, the brazen Asian thieves had been active in the area for months – and even had the audacity to sell the stolen tyres back to desperate truckies through a nearby shop.
Truckies were so desperate to keep moving that they would unwittingly buy stolen tyres to avoid wasting time looking for thieves.
Police nabbed the gang during a stakeout and raid. Some thieves tried to make a run for it, and some resisted arrest – but all five were eventually apprehended. They also led police to the place where they had hidden a stash of stolen goods.
