The unidentified man was seized at his residence in the holy city of Makkah on Saturday night, just after the end of the annual pilgrimage season in the Kingdom, where nearly 2.7 million pilgrims performed the rituals.
"The man was seized with nearly SR500,000 ($135,000) and 100 mobile phones...he also had a large amount of foreign currencies," Ajel said.
It gave no details of the theft but Saudi authorities have reported the arrest of several thieves targeting Mohammedan pilgrims in Makkah, Islam's holiest shrine.
That's okay, gramps. Those hands were probably pretty arthritic anyways. You won't miss 'em much...
