MAKKAH, May 2 (Bernama-SPA) -- Security patrols in Makkah arrested three Indonesian residents for committing fraud by publishing misleading and fake advertisements on social media offering Haj services, while fake Haj permits and tools used in these activities were found in their possession.

They were apprehended, legal action was taken against them, and they were referred to the public prosecution, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

Public Security urged the public to comply with Hajj regulations and instructions and to promptly report violations by calling 911 in Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and eastern regions, and 999 in the rest of the Kingdom.
