 Two people acting suspiciously were arrested outside the US consulate in Lahore and later released in the past week, sources in the police told Daily Times on Thursday. A man was arrested outside the consulate six days ago. He had been writing down the registration numbers of cars visiting the consulate. He was released after interrogation, in which he said he was unemployed and bored and noting down the registration numbers as a hobby.
| My son shares this strange fixation with vehicle registration information. He often spends his entire day stopping motorists and demanding such information, in fact. He claims it's connected with his job — he's a Maryland State Trooper — but we know better. I wonder which police agency this guy works for? |
The second man was arrested a couple of days ago. He had collected some trash and sat down with it outside the main gate of the consulate. He was found to be mentally-ill and later released. A senior police officer confirmed the incidents and said that security was being tightened outside the consulate. |
