A number of people had told Sharjah Police that a gang had lured them into inner streets, threatened them with a knife and sometimes beat them to rob them of their mobile phones, especially expensive ones.

A team of police officers was formed to investigate the complaint. A member of the gang was identified and arrested. He confessed to luring, assaulting and robbing people in association with two others who were arrested later.

Sharjah Police have appealed to citizens and residents, who fall victim to such crimes, to call the toll free number 800 151 or 999.
