Driver arrested in Sharjah for 137 violations, AED 104,000 in fines
Sharjah Police have arrested a motorist who racked up 137 traffic violations and fines totalling over AED 104,000, all while using forged licence plates to evade detection.
The arrest was made after advanced surveillance systems identified the vehicle, which had deliberately mismatched plates to avoid traffic enforcement.
Officials say the violations also carried 308 black points, and the car had an outstanding impoundment period of more than 764 days.
Colonel Omar Mohammed Bu Ghanem, Deputy Director of the Traffic and Patrols Department at Sharjah Police, said the operation was the result of close coordination between field units and the Command and Control Room.
He warned that tampering with licence plates is not only a traffic offence but a criminal act, and stressed that Sharjah Police will continue to crack down on such dangerous behaviour.

Dubai Police dismantles begging ring, arrests 41 people
Dubai Police on Friday announced it arrested 41 people for begging and seized AED 60,000 from their possession. Under an operation named 'Misbah' - meaning 'prayer bead' in Arabic - the authority found all the detainees living in the same hotel, which they allegedly used as a base for organised begging activities. Dubai Police began surveilling the location after receiving a tip and detained three individuals selling prayer beads and accessories, who confessed to being part of a wider operation during questioning. In coordination with hotel management, 28 suspects were arrested. The following day, 10 more were apprehended as they attempted to leave the hotel. All reportedly admitted to operating as an organised group for begging and were referred to the relevant authorities for legal action. Dubai Police urged the public to report any begging activity and 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. #News | Operation 'Al-Misbah': Dubai Police Arrest Organised Begging Ring of 41 Suspects Residing in Hotel Details: #SayNoToBegging #PoliceEye #CommunitySafety — Dubai Policeشرطة دبي (@DubaiPoliceHQ) May 30, 2025
