Police here arrested three Arab expatriates – Two Sudanese and one Yemeni – involved in forgery of official documents. The arrests on Wednesday followed several days of surveillance after a tip-off on their activities in forging work visas. One of the suspects worked in a public service department and used an official vehicle to deliver forged documents to customers. The suspects who were apprehended from three different districts confessed earning a huge amount of money through their forgery. Forged documents of private companies, visas with forged signatures and chamber of commerce stamps and stickers were seized from their possession. The arrests began when the police stopped the suspect driving the official vehicle, searched it and seized forged work visas. The man was on his way to get SR50,000 for the forged papers. The Sudanese driver claimed they belonged to a Yemeni friend and he was delivering them for SR500 each, before he led the police to the Yemeni's residence where the second suspect was arrested. Another Sudanese was arrested later after his involvement in the crime was established.
