Dubai Police Recover AED 1.1 Million Worth of Jewels

1.1 million dirham worth in jewelry recovered by Dubai Police

Dubai Police have successfully recovered a jeweler’s bag containing AED 1.1 million worth of diamonds. This incredible operation was made possible through international cooperation with Bangladeshi authorities and the UAE Embassy in Dhaka.

The Incident

The jeweler, a UAE resident, traveled to a GCC country for a jewelry exhibition. He carried four bags of precious diamonds. However, upon arrival, he realized one of the bags wasn’t his. Shocked, he returned to Dubai and reported the issue to the General Department of Airport Security.

This was a case of mistaken bags. A Bangladeshi traveler had accidentally taken the jeweler’s bag during security checks, as the bags looked very similar. The jeweler, in turn, unknowingly picked up the traveler’s bag. The Bangladeshi traveler then flew back to his home country with the jeweler’s bag.

How It Happened

  • A Bangladeshi traveler mistakenly took the jeweler’s bag during security checks.
  • The jeweler unknowingly picked up the traveler’s similar-looking bag.
  • The Bangladeshi traveler returned to his home country with the jeweler’s bag.

Swift Action by Dubai Police

Dubai Police immediately launched an investigation:

  • They coordinated with the UAE Embassy in Dhaka and Bangladeshi authorities.
  • The bag was located and safely returned to the jeweler in Dubai.

Recognition and Gratitude

Dubai Police praised the collaboration with Bangladeshi authorities and the UAE Embassy. The jeweler expressed heartfelt thanks, saying, “Your remarkable attention to detail and commitment to making people happy are beyond commendable.”

This operation highlights Dubai Police’s dedication to justice and safety for all residents and visitors.
