Fujairah Police have arrested a group of suspects just three hours after they stole money from a bank customer in the emirate. According to authorities, the incident occurred on the morning of October 23, 2025, when a woman reported that her bag containing Dh195,000 had been stolen shortly after withdrawing the amount from a bank. Police said the gang deceived the victim by claiming that her car had a problem with one of its rear tires. A special investigation team immediately launched a manhunt and was able to identify and arrest the suspects within hours. The suspects were later found to be wanted for similar crimes in another emirate. In coordination with Sharjah Police, Fujairah Police arrested the gang and referred them to the competent authorities for legal action. Brig. Gen. Dr. Ali Rashid bin Awash Al Yamahi, Director General of Police Operations, commended the rapid response and professionalism of the investigation teams, noting that the operation reflects the Ministry of Interior’s commitment to public safety and swift justice. Authorities reminded residents to remain cautious when withdrawing large sums from banks, avoid engaging with strangers, and report any suspicious activity immediately.
