The Sharjah
Police, in United Aran
Emirates, on Monday, October 4th, busted an international gang that specialised in
thefts targeting bank and hotel clients. The gang, who are considered one of
the most dangerous international criminal syndicate were planning to rob bank
clients in various European countries by stealing their bank account numbers
but their plans were foiled by the police.
A
top official at the CID said the police received information about the illicit
activity of the criminals who are based in Sharjah. The police immediately
formed a team comprising officers from the anti-fraud department to look into
the case. The operation resulted in the arrest of five suspects from various
nationalities, including two African nationals.
Unveiling
details about the case, Colonel Ibrahim Mussabah al Ajel, Director of the CID department, said
the gang would steal information of credits cards that belonged to bank clients
inside and outside the country and use the information to withdraw cash from
various countries. The gang worked in coordination with employees of hotels and
gold shops as well as shopping mals whose main duty was to scan the bank
accounts of the victims who visit their outlets and use their cards for
payment. The employees were lured by the gangsters that they would be offered
money.
It
was discovered that the gang had contacted a manager of a popular hotel in the
UAE and asked him to issue bills in names of European tourists and withdraw
cash from their accounts from banks based in their countries. They offered the
manager 40 per cent of the total cash they would get from the European banks.
•On
receiving the tip off, the federal crime police informed the Sharjah Police
Criminal and Investigation Department and a CID team team was
formed to launch a probe in cooperation with members of a team specialised in
combating embezzlement.

•The
team put up a trap in coordination with hotel manager to catch the culprits.
The manager thus set up an appointment with the culprits who arrived on time
with their list of international and local bank clients. While explaining to
the hotel manager on how to carry out the theft operation, the police raided
the place and arrested the culprits red-handed.
•
•During
interrogation, the gang confessed their plans to steal cash from European banks
with the help of people based within the country. Col Ibrahim Al Ajill,
Director-General of Sharjah Police hailed the cooperation between the Sharjah
CID and Federal CID department which resulted in busting the gang which used
the country as a platform to carry out their international crimes.
•
•He
explained that the gang members contacted many hotels and gold shops managers
to involve them in the crime, but they all refused, and instead, and informed
the police. The suspects are currently detained and will be referred to the
Public Prosecution.
