riding African pickpocket who had been observed by a Bangladeshi passenger stealing the wallet from an Egyptian man moved in on the potential whistleblower to threaten him, but when he tried the same trick on the frightened Bangladeshi the latter alerted fellow passengers who together restrained the thief. The bus driver stopped his vehicle and called in police patrols who found on the Somali the Egyptian's wallet containing 2,500 riyals, and heard during questioning on Saturday that the pickpocket had been responsible for numerous acts of theft at open markets and other crowded public areas.
