Saudi police raid illegal drifting site

Following much publicized reports of illegal drifting scenes in Saudi Arabia, police in Riyadh recently set up a sting operation to catch the offenders.

Picking up from the gun fire in the last video, a Honda Accord is seen in the middle of a drifting run. The Accord proceeds to lose control and crash into a road side object rendering the vehicle immobile. The crash then triggers the raid as dozens of police vehicles storm the scene trying to catch anyone.

The scene turns into chaos as the assembled crowd frantically flees in all directions. During the melee, gun shots can be heard.

Unfortunately the video doesn't show anyone being taken into custody, and briefly we can see the occupants out of the crashed Accord being helped out, but we don't see what is the final outcome.

We'll let you know if we find out anything else.

I think cops came to participate. But were surprisingly disappointed as everyone remembered they left their stove on at home. What a shame!! Lol

ya well this always happens, its nothing new. cops have been doing this since the very beginning. and since they cant really do much to all these people they just come to the scene to scare away the people so everyone can live happily ever after. :P

You can hear someone telling the cameraman to not to worry and to keep quiet. Strangely, all the patrol vrhicles are blue security vehicles, not the green traffic police patrols. Maybe the ministry of interior was treating this as a security incident, rather than a traffic violation.
