An Arab expatriate who had been hunted by Saudi authorities for molesting several children was finally caught in the holy city of Makkah, the Arabic language daily Almadina reported on Tuesday.
The unidentified Arab, in his 30s, had targeted children who were not with their relatives and raped them, the paper said.
“Our patrols got him in Makkah in a short period of time after we distributed his descriptions…he is under arrest and will stand trial soon,” the paper quoted Major Abdul Mohsen Al Miman, Makkah police spokesman, as saying.
