Five men have been arrested on suspicion of robbing a woman of her handbag and mobile phone.
F?A, 24, an Emirati, was targeted while walking in Abu Dhabi’s Khalidiyah area after leaving a bank last week.
Police said that one man grabbed her from behind, putting a scarf over her eyes and a hand over her mouth to stop her screaming.
Another stole her phone and bag, which contained cash and credit cards. She lost her balance and fell as the thieves fled.
Five suspects were arrested, all from Pakistan.
D?B, 25, is accused of grabbing the woman from behind while K?M, 21, robbed her.
Police claim they were working in collaboration with the three other men detained, with the gang targeting women and the elderly as they left the bank.
Police believe they thought the woman had a large amount of cash on her. She was carrying Dh1,300.
Col Rashid Mohammed Bourshid, chief of CID, said: “Joint efforts of the police and community led to the identification and arrest of the perpetrators of the crime that took place on July 28 in the morning.”
Police said the suspects had confessed to charges of forceful stealing from bank customers and had been referred to prosecutors.

Going grey? A stylist's advice
If you’re going to go grey, a great style, well-cared for hair (in a sleek, classy style, like a bob), and a young spirit and attitude go a long way, says Maria Dowling, founder of the Maria Dowling Salon in Dubai.
It’s easier to go grey from a lighter colour, so you may want to do that first. And this is the time to try a shorter style, she advises. Then a stylist can introduce highlights, start lightening up the roots, and let it fade out. Once it’s entirely grey, a purple shampoo will prevent yellowing.
“Get professional help – there’s no other way to go around it,” she says. “And don’t just let it grow out because that looks really bad. Put effort into it: properly condition, straighten, get regular trims, make sure it’s glossy.”
