Saudi police arrested a 25-year-old Arab beggar who is just less than one metre tall and ears an average SR3,000 a day.
The woman told police she had been left by her father every day near a traffic signal in the capital Riyadh to beg for money, adding that he watched her from a distance to ensure she works properly.
“She said people rushed to give her money because they felt sorry for her…she told police her daily income could reach SR3,000,” Sharq daily said.
The paper quoted the beggar as saying one man gave her SR1,500 and told her that all he had got in his pocket. It said her father, in his 60s, was also seized.
The paper said the woman had been arrested and released many times over the past two years.
