Saudi Arabia’s religious police chased a driver for nearly 140 km in the heart of the Gulf Kingdom after suspecting he has a girl with him but failed to catch him. In the end, they found the car but he was not in.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the most feared law enforcement authority in the world’s dominant oil power, spotted the man as he sped through the central town of Majmaa.

“They suspected that he had a girl with him so they chased him with their vehicles…the chase continued for nearly 140 km but they could not catch him,” the Arabic language daily Sharq said.

“In the end, they found the car with a Kuwait plate parked near a mosque outside the city but they could not find the driver or the presumed girl…they seized the car and the man’s passport which he had left in the vehicle.”
