Dubai: Two men killed in dispute at petrol station, 11 arrested
The Dubai Public Prosecution is investigating an isolated incident involving two Uzbek nationals who lost their lives during a personal dispute between two groups at a petrol station in Dubai in April.
The altercation, reportedly the result of an old disagreement, occurred when the victims arrived to inflate their vehicle's tyres. A police officer who happened to be nearby witnessed the incident and immediately alerted the authorities.
Preliminary investigations revealed that two groups arrived at the station in separate vehicles. One of the victims had just stepped out of a red Mercedes to check the tyres when he was approached and assaulted by a group of men. The second victim, meanwhile, attempted to flee but was caught shortly after by another group.
Identified through CCTV
Dubai Police reached the site promptly, secured the area, and collected items left behind by those involved.
CCTV footage and witness statements helped the authorities piece together the sequence of events and identify the individuals connected to the case.
Following a swift investigation, the police arrested all 11 individuals involved, including the primary suspects, at a hotel in another emirate.
During questioning, those arrested admitted to being involved in the dispute, citing previous tensions as the cause.
Authorities confirmed that the incident was a result of a personal matter and involved individuals known to each other. The case has been referred to the Public Prosecution for further legal procedures.
Dubai Police reassured the public that such violent incident is rare and that the emirate remains one of the safest cities in the world.

Dubai arrests gang for stealing bank data using fake links
A five-member gang has been arrested in Dubai for stealing bank details using fake web links of popular restaurants and delivery companies with promises of huge discounts. Dubai Police's Anti-Fraud Centre said the gang convinced the victims to "click on the link and enter their banking information". And, once that was completed, they would use the data to withdraw funds. A specialised team from Dubai Police started monitoring the "suspicious online activities" of the gang following numerous complaints from victims. The pattern of messages were analysed, leading to the identification of the gang members. The men were detained and all electronic gadgets used in the crime seized. Dubai Police have reminded residents to avoid clicking on links from suspicious sources, and to always check for their authenticity. The public has also been encouraged to report suspicious activities to the nearest police station or through the 'Police Eye' feature on the Dubai Police App and the eCrime platform.

Dubai Police arrest gang for cyber theft
15 June 2025 14:58 DUBAI (ALETIHAD) As part of their ongoing efforts to combat cyber fraud, Dubai Police, represented by the Anti-Fraud Centre, arrested a gang that routinely stole funds and banking data by luring victims through fake links. The suspects impersonated various organisations, including restaurants, delivery companies, and promotional outlets. Dubai Police warned the community to avoid clicking on links from untrustworthy sources, even if they appear to come from recognised entities. They also encouraged community members to report suspicious links immediately at the nearest police station, or through the 'Police Eye' feature on the Dubai Police App and the eCrime platform. The Police revealed that in this particular instance, the gang's scheme involved sending SMS messages or links with fake names and offers from well-known organisations to deceive victims into thinking they were legitimate.'Once a victim clicks on the link and enters their banking information, the gang uses that data to withdraw funds,' the Police said. "Specialist teams at the Anti-Fraud Centre, in collaboration with relevant authorities, successfully analysed the patterns of these fraudulent messages and tracked suspicious online activities, resulting in the identification and arrest of the gang members, as well as the seizure of the electronic tools used in these crimes," it added.
