Saudi authorities seized a woman for breaking a ban on driving a car in the Gulf Kingdom, the second female driver to be arrested in just a few days, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The woman, in her 40s, was spotted driving a car in the central province of Al Ras, where she later parked the vehicle and went into a supermarket for shopping, Ajel said.

“When she returned to her car, police were waiting for her…they arrested her for breaking the rules while her mother and sister, who were with her, were allowed to go home.”

The unnamed woman was the second to be arrested for driving a car this week. On Saturday, police detained Manal Al Sharif for driving in the eastern town of Khobar. They released her three hours later but she was arrested again on Monday and jailed for five days.
