VIDEO: Dubai Police bust gold gang in just 24 hours

According to Major General Khalil al-Mansour three men, who wore masks when carrying out the theft, broke the window of a shop in the Naif area at 5am on Friday morning and stole the jewellery in just 31 seconds before leaving without a trace.

In an official statement al-Mansour stated the nature of the crime indicates that they had studied out the area for some time.

“The way in which the crime was committed, the location, the time, the manner in which the shop was invaded, the complete concealment of the faces, and the avoidance of surveillance cameras – this indicates that they had studied the site well before the crime was committed,” he said.

Al-Mansour also addressed how the Dubai Police were able to catch the criminals so fast. He revealed that they had received information about an organised gang specialising in armed robbery cases from Hong Kong and soon after began their search.

Less than 24 hours later, the gang of six which included a woman were found with the stolen jewellery and tools used in the robbery in the China cluster of International City.
