Romeo caught in his own trap

A Saudi womaniser made the mistake of his life when he chased a married woman close to her house and left his phone number at the door. Minutes later, he was arrested with the help of his own number.

The 23-year-old man followed the Saudi woman through the shopping mall in the eastern port of Dammam although she kept rebuffing him.

Tired of his advances, she hurried back home but the man would not give up, shadowing her until she was indoors.

“He then stuck his phone number at the door and left. She told her husband and gave him the man’s number,” Sabq daily said.

It said her husband phoned the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, Saudi Arabia’s feared Islamic police, and gave them the number.

“Commission members tracked the man through his phone number…they went straight to his address and arrested him.”
