Al Ain woman takes Dhs23,500 for selling car, refuses to handover vehicle or refund money to buyer
Al Ain Court for Civil, Commercial, and Administrative Cases ordered a woman to pay a man Dhs23,500. The woman reportedly had advertised a car for sale on social media and after the man paid the full amount without completing the registration transfer, she refused to hand over the car or refund the money. The details date back to the time when a man filed a lawsuit against a woman, demanding she return Dhs23,500 along with fees and expenses. The plaintiff stated that the appellee advertised a vehicle for sale on social media and after agreeing on the deal, he transferred the amount as an advance payment, but she neither delivered the vehicle nor refunded the money. The plaintiff submitted evidence, including screenshots of their conversations and a bank transfer receipt, with the court documents. The court required the plaintiff to take an oath, swearing that the appellee owed him Dhs23,500 due to her failure to fulfill the verbal sales agreement for the vehicle. He attended the hearing, took the oath, and thus completed the evidence for the case. The court then ruled that the appellee owed the man Dhs23,500 which the court ordered her to repay him.

Dubai Police arrest organised begging ring of 41 suspects residing in hotel
Dubai Police arrested 41 people who were part of an organised begging ring in Dubai. The police said 41 individuals of Arab nationality who were residing in a hotel in Dubai. The arrests were part of a targeted security operation codenamed Al-Misbah (Arabic for 'prayer bead'), carried out by the Department of Suspects and Criminal Phenomena at the General Department of Criminal Investigation. Dubai Police confirmed that all gang members were living in the same hotel, which they used as a base for their organised begging activities. More than Dhs60,000 was found in their possession. This operation falls within the force's 'Combat Begging' campaign, launched under the slogan 'A Conscious Society, Free of Begging', in cooperation with strategic partners. The anti-begging drive seeks to raise awareness about the dangers of begging and promote the UAE's civilised image by preventing and combating all forms of this practice. Case Details The operation began following a report received through the 901 call centre about individuals seen begging while selling prayer beads and accessories. Upon receiving the tip-off, the Monitoring and Analysis Section began surveillance of the location and observed three Arab individuals selling these items and asking for money from the public. They were arrested on the spot. During questioning, the suspects confessed to being part of a larger organised begging ring. They had entered the UAE on visit visas and were residing in a hotel. In coordination with hotel management, 28 suspects of the same nationality were arrested. The following day, 10 more were apprehended as they attempted to leave the hotel. All admitted to operating as an organised group for begging and were referred to the relevant authorities for legal action. Intensified Patrols and Preventive Plans Dubai Police affirmed that the 'Combat Begging' campaign, launched annually in coordination with strategic partners, continues to effectively reduce the number of beggars yearly, thanks to the strict measures enforced against offenders. The force noted that a comprehensive annual security plan is implemented to combat begging, including increased patrols in areas where such activity is likely to occur. Dubai Police also monitor the evolving methods used by beggars to develop proactive strategies to counter them. The force warned that beggars often exploit religious occasions and holidays to provoke sympathy through professional and deceitful means—an act considered a criminal offence under UAE law. Dubai Police has reminded the public to contribute to charitable causes only through licensed associations and official channels to ensure donations reach those truly in need. The force also urged community members to report any begging activity by calling the toll-free number 901, using the 'Police Eye' feature on the Dubai Police smart app, or reporting online begging via the E-Crime platform ( ).
