Dubai Police have made a swift arrest and recovered Dh190,000 ($51,735) stolen by e-scooter thieves, according to recent reports. The command-and-control center at the General Department of Operations informed patrols in the Naif area about the theft and dispatched descriptions of the suspects. Naif Police Station officers reached the scene within two minutes and recovered the full amount just two minutes after.
Brigadier Omar Mousa Ashour, director of Naif Police Station, praised the effectiveness of the patrols, which are managed to ensure a strong presence in busy areas. E-scooter patrols use their mobility to navigate through pedestrian-heavy zones and narrow alleyways that traditional vehicles cannot access. Dubai launched the Personal Mobility Monitoring Unit in May to oversee bicycle and e-scooter usage, enforcing traffic rules and cracking down on reckless riding. The unit will also prohibit tandem riding on e-scooters.
