Saudi religious police raided eight alcohol-producing factories in the southwest region of Aasir, Al-Madina reported on Tuesday.
The police confiscated 3,750 liters of alcoholic drinks that contained mice and were contaminated with poisonous bugs, the report said.

The manufacturers, who have taken refuge in mountains, were aiming to target youths, Asmari added.
