Thieves rob famous store in Saudi [video]

Two masked thieves smashed the door or a famous department store in Saudi Arabia and made away with a large sum of money.

A YouTube film published by the Saudi daily 'Sabq' showed the two men, dressed in traditional Saudi dishdasha (gown) dismantled a safe and carried it out of the store in the South-central town of Wadi Al Dawasir.

The paper quoted security sources as saying the film is real and that police had mounted a manhunt to catch the two thieves. It did not identify the store or specify the stolen sum but described it as “very large".
