Sharjah Police commends public's vital role in reporting beggars
Successful anti-begging operations
During the first half of Ramadan, Sharjah Police's anti-begging teams, in collaboration with the community, arrested several beggars. These efforts resulted in the capture of 87 men and 20 women, with over AED 50,000 seized from them. This initiative is focused on combating begging and fostering a culture of responsible giving.
Role of the public in combating begging
Brigadier General Omar Al Ghazal, Director of the Special Tasks Department at Sharjah Police, praised the public for their crucial role in reporting beggars. The public's use of the reporting numbers (901) and (80040) has been instrumental in identifying and locating beggars. These reports directly support the police's efforts to curb begging in the community.
Promoting responsible giving
Brigadier General Al Ghazal highlighted that educating the community about the tactics used by beggars plays a key role in reducing illegal behaviours. He encouraged residents to direct their donations to accredited charities and institutions, ensuring that the funds reach those who truly need assistance. He also urged the public to refrain from giving money to beggars and to report any instances of begging promptly.
