A man in his 50s has been held for helping a housemaid to escape from her sponsor and offered her an alternative job for a fee. He was arrested when a security patrol in Jubail stopped his car with the woman beside him. After checking their papers, it was found out they were not related. The man admitted to helping the housemaid escape from her sponsor and offered her another job for a commission, said Lt. Col. Ziyad Al-Reqaitti, spokesman for the Eastern Province police.
