Dubai Police arrest illegal street vendors during Ramadan
Dubai Police have arrested 10 illegal street vendors for selling food in public areas without meeting health and safety standards. The vendors, who were operating without licenses, posed potential risks to public health, authorities said. The crackdown is part of their ongoing 'A Conscious Society, Free of Beggars' campaign during the Holy Month. Colonel Ahmad Al Adeedi, Deputy Director of the Suspects and Criminal Phenomena Department at the General Department of Criminal Investigation, warned against buying from unauthorized sellers, urging the public to rely on licensed businesses for food safety. 'These unauthorized vendors tend to operate near labour accommodation areas, where they attract customers by offering food products under unhygienic conditions,' Colonel Al Adeedi said in a news release. Meanwhile, Major Talib Al Amiri, Head of the Street Vendors Control Section, cautioned that food sold by unlicensed vendors and vehicles is often stored and displayed improperly, increasing the risk of spoilage and foodborne illnesses. Dubai Police, in coordination with relevant authorities, will continue round-the-clock patrols to identify and take action against violators. Authorities also encourage residents to report illegal vendors to help maintain public health and safety.

Dubai Police cracks down on illegal street vendors
Dubai Police has intensified efforts to combat illegal street vending during Ramadan. Ten vendors have been arrested for selling food products in public areas without proper licences and operating in unhygienic conditions. The crackdown is part of the ongoing 'A Conscious Society, Free of Beggars' campaign. Colonel Ahmad Al Adeedi, Deputy Director of the Suspects and Criminal Phenomena Department, said that such illegal activities not only breach safety standards but also create unsightly makeshift markets in public spaces, particularly near labour accommodation areas. Health concerns are also significant, as unregulated food products are often stored and sold under unsafe conditions, increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses. Major Talib Al Amiri, Head of the Street Vendors Control Section, urged the public to avoid purchasing from unauthorised vendors and instead rely on licensed businesses to ensure food safety. Dubai Police continues to patrol areas around the clock, working with partner authorities to crack down on violations. Residents are encouraged to report any illegal vending activities through the 901 Call Centre or the 'Police Eye' service on the Dubai Police App. #News | Dubai Police Cracks Down on Illegal Street Vendors Violating Public Health Regulations Details: #CombatBegging #SafetyAndSecurity #RamadanInDubai — Dubai Policeشرطة دبي (@DubaiPoliceHQ) March 11, 2025
