Abdulrahman Al-Ali Saudi Gazette JEDDAH – Police arrested two men who allegedly siphoned off SR1.85 million from the account of a private firm by using forged documents. First Lt. Nawaf Al-Bouq, spokesman of Jeddah police, said police received complaint from a commercial firm about the swindling operation from its account. Maj. Gen. Muhammad Al-Johani, acting director of Jeddah police, formed an investigation team, which discovered that a Yemeni, who has been overstaying in the Kingdom for 30 years, carried out the theft with the help of a Saudi citizen. They were arrested before dividing the money between them. The pair admitted to police that they managed to siphon off the money from the firm's account to the bank account of the Saudi after producing forged documents, Al-Bouq said. In another development, police arrested a young Saudi who worked at a private company for an attempt to obtain 3,000 iPhones with SIM cards from Saudi Telecom Company (STC) by producing a forged authorization letter from his company, Al-Bouq said. When STC contacted the company to verify the purchase order, it was revealed that the man in his 30s had forged the letter.
