Saudi Arabia’s Special Forces for Environmental Security have detained three expatriates from Yemeni and Egyptian nationalities for exploiting soil deposits in the Eastern Province. Authorities also seized three pieces of equipment used for excavating and transporting soil, and legal measures have been taken against the offenders.

The forces stated that the seized machinery was used for soil excavation and transport, though the statement did not specify the type of deposits involved.

The Special Forces for Environmental Security urged the public to report any violations against the environment or wildlife by calling 911 in Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, or 999 and 996 in other regions. All reports will be treated confidentially, with no liability for the informant.
