RIYADH: A Saudi court has sentenced eight expatriates to prison terms of up to 10 years after an investigation found the gang orchestrated a series of copper and electrical cable thefts, Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.
Saudi Arabia’s Public Prosecution Office said that the group employed a systematic approach to their crimes, stealing electrical cables and concealing them in a rented location, with plans to sell the items later.
The eight were ordered to pay compensation for damages caused by their crimes and will be deported after completing their sentences.
