Crime Free Dubai...

http://www.gulfnews.com/nation/Polic.../10118676.html

Crikey. I thought I'd woken up in Gateshead when I heard the news on the radio this morning.

I particularly like the bit where the police say that the criminals are "unlikely to be of Arab origin".

hey you nowt wrong with Gatesheed!!! not the first jewellers to be done in Wafi, Mahallati was done over about 4 years ago. They must be daft nicking graff diamonds though, each one has a hologram type thing inside of it and will be traced.

I thought I was in sunderland when i lived in Satwa, went to the shops in husbands car and returned to find my VW golf on bricks minus it's alloy wheels. Even the police thought it was funny!!! :lol:

You can still hope - they've recovered only 14 million. They made the arrests a couple of days back, wonder why they waited till today to make the announcement:confused:
