Cleaner finds Dh100,000 in Dubai mall, gives it to police

A female cleaner stumbled across a woman’s bag containing Dh100,000 while she was cleaning the toilets at a shopping mall in Dubai.

The woman immediately went straight to the police and handed them the money.

Dubai police later honoured Tasleema Hassan Ali in recognition for her honesty and commitment, according to local newspapers.

“I call on the public to cooperate with the police and to preserve items which could be forgotten by many people in various places.

This will serve security in this good country,” she said, quoted by Emarat Al Youm daily.
