Unidentified men sprayed a black substance damaging the lenses of the Saher camera (the automatic traffic detection device) 24 hours after it was installed on the express highway at the intersection in the Mazraq town between Al-Arida and Al-Eidabi, according to a traffic official.
”The criminal deed also resulted in damaging essential components of the device, and blurred its features significantly,” Spokesman of Jazan Traffic Directorate Lt. Col. Fawaz Al-Shareef said, adding that the case has been referred to police for investigations and further criminal procedures against the culprits.
Al-Shareef said the speed monitoring device was installed on the highway by the Jazan Traffic Directorate following frequent fatal traffic accidents occurring in that area, Okaz reported.
