Ajman Police have returned stolen property worth more than Dh350,000 to a family in the emirate.
The Asian family reported last Saturday night that their house in Al Nuaimia had been ransacked .
They had returned home only to find their valuables gone.
Police arrived at the scene within four minutes and found that thieves entered the property through a window and stole a safe containing Dh6,000 in cash, gold worth Dh350,000 and some appliances.
“We discovered the theft after we returned home that night,” said the father of the household, in a video posted on Ajman Police's social media pages.
“It [safe] contained the cash and jewellery for my wife and daughter.”
Authorities said the burglars attempted to avoid leaving a trail by wearing gloves and disconnecting the family's home surveillance system.
“Police teams including crime scene experts arrived within three minutes after we called and reported the incident,” said the man.
Within two days, suspects were identified and the stolen items were recovered.
One of the culprits, an Asian man, was arrested in Al Rashidiya area. He confessed to carrying out the theft along with another Asian man, who had since left the country.
Police said the burglars were lying in wait for the family to leave the house.
All of the property, except for a small amount of money, was returned to the family.
“I want to thank each and everyone from the police and in Al Nuaimia police station and the whole UAE,” the father said in the video.
“They were happy for me as is it was something from them that was lost.”

HIV on the rise in the region
A 2019 United Nations special analysis on Aids reveals 37 per cent of new HIV infections in the Mena region are from people injecting drugs.
New HIV infections have also risen by 29 per cent in western Europe and Asia, and by 7 per cent in Latin America, but declined elsewhere.
Egypt has shown the highest increase in recorded cases of HIV since 2010, up by 196 per cent.
Access to HIV testing, treatment and care in the region is well below the global average.
Few statistics have been published on the number of cases in the UAE, although a UNAIDS report said 1.5 per cent of the prison population has the virus.

“Attacking places of worship is a form of terrorism and extremism that threatens peace and stability within societies,” it said.
The council also warned against the rise of hate speech, racism, extremism and Islamophobia. It urged the international community to join efforts to promote tolerance and peaceful coexistence.

What drives subscription retailing?
Once the domain of newspaper home deliveries, subscription model retailing has combined with e-commerce to permeate myriad products and services.
The concept has grown tremendously around the world and is forecast to thrive further, according to UnivDatos Market Insights’ report on recent and predicted trends in the sector.
The global subscription e-commerce market was valued at $13.2 billion (Dh48.5bn) in 2018. It is forecast to touch $478.2bn in 2025, and include the entertainment, fitness, food, cosmetics, baby care and fashion sectors.
The report says subscription-based services currently constitute “a small trend within e-commerce”. The US hosts almost 70 per cent of recurring plan firms, including leaders Dollar Shave Club, Hello Fresh and Netflix. Walmart and Sephora are among longer established retailers entering the space.
UnivDatos cites younger and affluent urbanites as prime subscription targets, with women currently the largest share of end-users.
That’s expected to remain unchanged until 2025, when women will represent a $246.6bn market share, owing to increasing numbers of start-ups targeting women.
Personal care and beauty occupy the largest chunk of the worldwide subscription e-commerce market, with changing lifestyles, work schedules, customisation and convenience among the chief future drivers.
