Policeman went to pray... speed camera gone

A Saudi traffic police man concealed his mobile speed camera among the plants on a main street in the Gulf Kingdom and went to a nearby mosque to pray. When he came back, the camera has gone.

In a report from the western Red Sea port of Jeddah on Thursday, Kabar newspaper said it was clear that the police man who wanted to watch speeding cars was himself being watched by thieves.

“He installed the camera and went to the mosque to pray…when he returned, there was no camera…it was stolen,” the paper said.
