He explained that “the department received a case from a shopping mall about a man who uses forged credit cards to buy products.”
“The police rushed to the location and arrested the suspect, who possessed of 26 forged cards, which were all seized by the police,” said Al Miraj, adding that legal proceedings are being taken to refer the case to the Public Prosecution.
