A criminal court in Abu Dhabi sentenced a man from another Gulf country to 10 years in prison after he was convicted of posing as a policeman to abduct a woman and rape her, newspapers reported on Sunday.

The woman was walking with her colleague to work at a nearby co-op when a car pulled up and the driver asked for their Ids after showing them his fake police card.

Newspapers said that the girl was staying in the UAE illegally and that the defendant took her to a nearby police station to mislead her into believing that he is a real cop.

“He told her to sit in the waiting room at the police centre. He then greeted the policemen there before taking her back into his car,” Al Khaleej said, adding that he was convicted on charges of rape, abduction and impersonating a security man.
