Dubai Police arrest twelve beggars on the First Day of Ramadan

The Dubai Police anti-begging campaign ‘Let’s Combat Begging’ arrested twelve beggars on the first day of the holy month.

Colonel Ali Salem, Director of the Department of infiltrators at Dubai Police, explained that there is an integrated security plan to combat begging in cooperation with partners and intensify patrols in places expected to be frequented by beggars.

He urged all citizens and residents not to be sympathetic with beggars and instead donate to official charities. He also asked the public to report beggars to the toll-free number 901 or through the Police Eye service via Dubai Police App.
