The General Department of Airport Security at Dubai Police successfully returned a handbag containing silver bars valued at approximately AED 2 million to an Asian passenger, following intensive efforts by the team at Terminal 1.
Colonel Abdullah Faisal Al Dosari, Director of the Terminal 1 Security Department, said that a foot patrol officer was conducting a routine security sweep in the departure hall when an Asian passenger reported losing a black handbag before boarding his flight.
The operations room took immediate action and reviewed the passenger's movement. A team of foot patrol officers was then deployed to search for the bag across various areas of the airport, and the team successfully located the bag.
Upon opening and verifying its contents, they found it contained silver bars valued at approximately AED 2 million. “After confirming the ownership documents, the bag was handed over to its owner in accordance with legal procedures, with an official receipt issued,” Col. Al Dosari added.
The passenger expressed his deep gratitude and appreciation to Dubai Police, commending their swift response and the professionalism of the teams at the General Department of Airport Security.
