Two workers attacked a cashier and stole SR170,000 from his cash register at a large mall in Al-Aziziya District here, Wednesday. The cashier was rushed to Noor Specialist Hospital for treatment. A police officer chased and arrested one of the thieves who was found in possession of the money. He was handed over to Al-Aziziya District Police. Police are still searching for his accomplice. Sources said that the two worked at a nearby store, and that they decided to commit the theft in the afternoon because it is the time when malls are usually almost empty. “We are still searching for the other perpetrator and investigating the case,” Lt. Col. Abdul Mohsin Al-Maiman, media adviser at Makkah Police said. __
