Dubai Police have apprehended three individuals suspected of stealing Dh190,000 ($51,735) in a matter of minutes, thanks to e-scooter patrols. The General Department of Operations informed the command-and-control centre of the theft in Dubai's Naif area, and e-scooter officers from the Naif Police Station arrived at the scene within two minutes.
They recovered the entire sum just two minutes later, according to Brig Omar Mousa Ashour, the director of Naif Police Station. Ashour highlighted the effectiveness of patrols in the city, noting that e-scooters enable officers to navigate through busy pedestrian zones and narrow alleys that conventional vehicles cannot access. The Naif Police Station plans to further refine its field operations to improve response times and enhance security.
In May, Dubai authorities established the Personal Mobility Monitoring Unit, a joint effort between Dubai Police and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), to monitor e-scooter and bicycle users, ensuring they adhere to traffic rules and wear safety gear. This unit now extends the use of e-scooters as part of the police's strategy in handling high-traffic areas.
