On Crime and Security in Dubai
Be advised to people who are not aware of the city of Dubai and the UAE in general, the country enforces strict laws and has a zero-tolerance policy toward crime. There are plenty of cameras installed throughout the city in order to deter criminals and to reinforce the security and safety of everyone.
Little did the suspects know that their images had been captured by the many CCTV cameras installed around the city and it was only a matter of time before they were tracked down and arrested by the Dubai Police.
We are not saying that Dubai does not have crime, but the crime is a whole lot less compared to other countries and that is due to the strict punishments and safety measures put in place. It also helps that the residents living here are law-abiding citizens.

Dubai Police arrest Two Thieves for Stealing Expensive Jewellery
In a sophisticated police operation, the Dubai Police have recently arrested two Europeans for stealing expensive jewellery from a store within only 12 hours from receiving the theft report, despite using deceptive methods of disguise, including eyeglasses and wigs.
The arrest was made after the Dubai Police Command & Control Centre received an emergency call reporting some expensive jewellery stolen from a jewellery shop display. Security patrols were immediately dispatched to the scene and spoke to the shop owner, who confirmed the theft.
Dubai Police then reviewed the CCTV footage showing the suspects committing their crime while hiding their identity by wearing face masks and flat hats.
Thorough investigations revealed that the suspects had entered a building under construction and disguised themselves before they committed their crime, using simple and silent tools to break into the display and steal the jewellery.
Dubai Police collected evidence, lifted fingerprints off the crime scene, and tracked the suspects’ movements. They further concluded that the suspects had left the crime scene, entered a building under construction to change their attire, and returned to their hotel, leaving their shoes and disguise tools behind in a landfill for construction waste.
Upon inspecting the suspects’ hotel room, Dubai Police recovered a torn piece of paper detailing the crime plot and method. They then pursued the suspects who had boarded a plane in an attempt to escape the country.
Dubai Police arrested the suspects, recovered the stolen jewellery from one of their bags, and seized the crime tools in their possession.
