Four arrested in Madinah for illegal hunting without license
Environmental Security Special Forces detained four Saudis in Madinah for hunting without a permit, seizing weapons and wildlife, and referred them to authorities.
In Madinah, four individuals were apprehended by Saudi environmental security forces for engaging in illegal hunting without proper licensing. The authorities seized various items, including an air rifle, 16 shotgun cartridges, and 14 captured wild animals. The suspects were subsequently detained, and legal proceedings were initiated against them, with their cases referred to the appropriate authorities.
The Special Forces for Environmental Security highlighted the significance of adhering to environmental regulations, which prohibit hunting wild animals without a valid license. Violations of these laws carry penalties ranging from a fine of 10,000 riyals for unauthorized hunting to 3,000 riyals for hunting specific species like spiny-tailed lizards.
The security forces have also encouraged the public to report any environmental or wildlife violations by contacting the designated emergency numbers. Confidentiality is assured for all reported incidents, and informants will not face any repercussions.
