JEDDAH: The Interior Ministry in Riyadh has arrested five people for selling drugs on social networking sites, particularly Snapchat.
Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki, spokesman of the ministry, said the users had been sharing videos encouraging drug abuse and urging young people to buy narcotics.
Those arrested were all Saudis, with officers seizing 788 amphetamine pills, 12 grams of hashish, two pistols and 66 live rounds.
Al-Turki said that the ministry has the capability to track down those using social networks for criminal activities. He urged citizens and expatriates to work with the police to apprehend criminals.
