SHARJAH // Thirty-one women were found living illegally with six African men in two adjacent apartments in the Abu Shugara area of Sharjah. Police said the women, all runaways, were taken into custody to face legal action.
The men were arrested for allegedly breaking into shops across the emirate.
Investigations led police to a cab driver who drove the gang to the shops. Officers found tools used in the thefts in the flats.
Police said the men confessed to carrying out the raids and have been referred to Sharjah Public Prosecution to face trial.
