During the demolition of a building in Jeddah, 100 kilograms of gold were discovered.

The old area of Jeddah had long been a major criminal hub. This location had long been a haven for swindled funds. Chief General Saleh Al Jabri of Makkah’s regional police acknowledged this.

He also stated that the crime rate in Jeddah’s old district is the highest. Theft, looting, drug smuggling, and, worst of all, human trafficking are all activities that these gangs engage in.

The old houses have now been seized and demolished, resulting in the recovery of 100 kg of gold and 60 million riyals in cash. The retrieved gold is valued at 50 million Saudi riyals.

Fortunately, the funds were seized just in time, as the group was planned to move the funds abroad in an illegal manner.

Furthermore, persons from the same neighborhood were apprehended attempting to smuggle SR 10 million in bags through King Abdulaziz Airport. Smuggling has been rendered futile.

Furthermore, 10,000 illegal immigrants have been apprehended in the same neighborhood.

Officials claim that these measures have resulted in a 12 percent reduction in crime rates.
