The Eastern Province Police Friday arrested 19 teenagers for disturbing shoppers and breaking the glass of a gate because they were not allowed to enter a mall in Al-Khobar. Col. Ziyad Al-Ruqaiti, spokesman of the Eastern Province Police, said: “We received a call that there were some adolescents standing in front of a mall. They had tried to force their way into the mall. We arrested them immediately.” A source from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the Hai'a, inside the mall, said that men were not allowed inside on Friday. When the young men were banned from entering, they decided to make trouble and broke the glass of a gate, the source added. “Police responded quickly to the call and immediately arrived at the site,” the source said. Men without families are not allowed in several malls in the Kingdom on Fridays. __
