Police uncovered on Tuesday a site being used as a depot for stolen materials and spare parts of unknown origin run by five persons of Arab nationality. The site in the district of Al-Khamra was reported to the authorities by locals concerned at “suspicious activities” being conducted by workers at the depot, including the sale of spare parts, batteries and dissembling cars. A police raid found dozens of persons of various nationalities looking to buy goods on offer. “Everyone present was arrested at the site which is not licensed for the sale or purchase of such materials. The people running the operation also have no legal identity papers,” a police official said.
