Four Saudi nationals travelled from the province of Taef to the governate of Al Mujarada, and headed to the home of a person named as "Abu Suleiman" to pick up weapons from him, reported Al Watan.

In the early hours of the morning the four accidentally knocked on the door of the man's neighbour, who also goes by the name of Abu Suleiman but is a government employee, asking him to hand over the goods in his possession. He was surprised and asked "What goods?"

When they explained to the neighbor they wanted their weapons depot, he stalled them and called the police who then arrested them.

The four suspects told the police they were only in town to "hunt" and there were five additional friends in the northern area of Al Arid, reported the paper.

After pursuing the five, the police captured them in Al Baha with weapons and ammunition in their possession.

The paper, which did not disclose who the tenth person was, said the investigation was "ongoing to determine the circumstances of the case."
