The police chief said the public is stupid for not tackling those guys and blocking the exit with a private car.

Yay for vigilante justice! Not. What a silly police chief to say this - why would he encourage the public to potentially risk their safety in such a way? Frustrated maybe...

Yes, agreed! That is a very stupid thing to say, let's just hope it was out of frustration.
Isn't his role to protect?

It's all over the news today. The thieves have been caught and all the jewellery recovered. The culprits were Eastern European - no surprise there.

Yes indeed, heard it on the radio with the Dubai Chief of Police talking, 3 caught here and one overseas, all booty handed back to the owners, so they say anyway, wonder if it will tally with the insurance claim? :wink:

Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Chief of Dubai Polices, said: “I have previously said that the robbers stole one minute of our time, but they did not and will not steal Dubai Police’s professionalism.

"This professionalism along with the police tactics are smarter than any criminal. A criminal’s success is temporary because he will not get away with his crime and then be arrested against his will,” he added.


Translation: "See, we're not incompetent. Booya!"

The local criminal in my case is still free and it took a year to arrest him only to pardon him later. Perhaps criminals are seperated by Nationalities?

mmhhh sounds very vague.... makes me wonder whether it is ture or not that they cought the thefts. You think the police will just make this up just to make them look good and scare others to do the same crimes?

Normally I would guess if they caught the suspects, at least some pictures will be posted in a newspaper (covered thier head or eyes something like that). they did not even mention the age of the suspects?

Very true :toothy10: I would not be surprised if one is in an Abaya behind bars now or sitting in Yemen laughing with his dual-citizenship.

If it were Indians,Africans,Pakistanians, or some other type of National then their picture would be on the front cover of the paper but if the crime was commited by a local then it will get the least attention possible in the media. When the crime happened it got lots of media attention but notice that when the people were caught (supposedly this is) they seemed to have received little media attention if any at all. :roll: I was ripped off by a local so I don't see why he or someone else would not rip off anyone else.

oh no no way , how could locals be smart enough to catch them I can't beleive it it just can not be...this must be the end of the world...

you see guys your problem is you always wants your countries to be better than UAE or at least hope for it , hey, keep dreaming .
it is just Jalousie and envy you guys have for the success of this country, you guys will never believe in anything good about it.

you stupid ignorant it is just a regular crime and it got solved , what is so hard about it ????
LOOOOL you guys thing every one is like (( a looser ))who has nothing to do but set his behiend all day and let his mama feed him all day long.
I realy feel sorry for you loosers.

Actually the Canadians caught them...the local police "loosers" (does this mean the police are "loose"?) couldn't do a thing except blame the public for not doing their (the police's) job...and yes, I'm willing to bet the theives were Arabs since if they had been any other nationality it would be all over the news here in Dubai.

yes dummy the canadians did and yes they are arabs , Syrians with Canadian citizenship daaaa, but the master mind was a westren and thier pictures has been in the news but I guess you don't have a tv LOOSER or can't afford to buy a news paper LOOOL.

and yes I would blam the public they have responsibilities toward thier comunity, don't they ?

and don't make me start on unsolved crime rate in other countries, I bet we are the lowest.

And finally for those of you who cares about this stupid subject, I just got the inside story from one of the teams in this case … when the rubbers ran a way from waif mall they parked their cars some where near by and burned the cars used in the rubbery, whoever the fire men managed to put down the fire of only one car that didn't completely burned out and investigators managed to get a DNA sample from that car and sent the result or analysis to the international police ( Interpol ) to find a match, and they did.
The rubbers were wanted for similar robberies in Germany and other western counties and they are all Russian nationality anyway the master mind was living in Holland put they official refused to turn him in for a trail in UAE !!! the rest got busted in DUBAI.

so no Canadian were involve in it .
