Dubai: Dubai Police have arrested 54 runaway domestic maids during Ramadan.
Colonel Ali Salem, Director of Infiltrators Department at Dubai Police, warned community members, especially families, against hiring runaway maids as they could pose a serious risk to society.
“Dubai Police arrested 54 runaway maids from different nationalities since the beginning of Ramadan as part of a campaign. There is an increase in domestic workers violating the law during this time,” Col Salem said.
He said that domestic workers can cause serious risks as some use fake names at work for families on a hourly basis.
He urged community members not to hire runaway maids as they could pose a problem when a crime is committed.
Dubai: Those who run organised criminal groups of beggars inside the UAE will face a fine of not less than Dh100,000 and jail of not less than six months, Dubai Police warned.
Authorities are maintaining a firm stance against begging and called on residents not to fall for scams that take advantage of people’s kind nature, especially during Ramadan.
Dubai Police arrested 177 people for begging this Ramadan during an anti-begging campaign to counter this malpractice during the month.
Colonel Ali Salem, Director of Infiltrators Department at Dubai Police, said that officers distributed across the emirate especially near beggars gathering areas. “Beggars take advantage of people’s generosity, especially during Ramadan. Begging endangers the community’s security as it is connected with other crimes such as robbery and using children and people of determination for the purpose of begging,” Col Salem said.
