Sharjah Police has arrested two Afghans (Mohammed U.M. and I. Bakhtiar) who specialised in robbing cash from bank customers.

Police said the two used to track their victims near branches of banks in Sharjah.

Police said the arrested people had arrived in UAE on tourist visa and temporary passports valid for one year, with the aim of theft and robbery.

Sharjah Police urged bank customers not to withdraw large sums of cash, not to a bank alone and make sure that there is no one loitering around the teller machine.
