AJMAN // A gang of alleged thieves was arrested in Ajman after trying to steal a man’s wallet, police said.
Ajman Police received a tip-off from an Arab who claimed a man had tried to steal his wallet in the new industrial area in the emirate, said Col Abdullah Saif Al Matrooshi, head of the department.
“After receiving the tip-off, investigation and search patrols moved immediately to the scene and arrested the suspect, who was caught along with two others by security at a building,” Col Al Matrooshi said.
The Arab suspects admitted the allegations during questioning and wore kanduras to fool people, Col Al Matrooshi said.
Their case has been passed to prosecutors for charges to be brought.
