Following reports by owners of jewelry stores in the gold souk, police traced the mother and son, who would sell their stolen goods at another souk in the east of Riyadh.
According to an official from the Riyadh police, the couple would steal while posing as buyers.
“Salesmen would show them a wide range of jewelry. They would then rob items when the salesmen would be distracted,” he said, adding that the son was the main culprit and that he got his mother involved by promising her half of whatever they stole.
The spokesman added that the pair have confessed to their crime and that they are following leads to see whether they are part of a larger gang. Both suspects will appear in court as soon as investigations are complete.
