Seventeen beggars were arrested across Dubai on the first day of Ramadan on Monday.
The crackdown is part of an anti-begging campaign launched by Dubai Police in coordination with
other government entities, including the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs
(GDRFA), Dubai Municipality and the Islamic Affairs & Charitable Activities Department.
"Those arrested included 13 men and four women," said Colonel Ali Salem Al Shamsi, Director of
the Suspects & Criminal Phenomena Department at the General Department of Criminal
Investigation.
He highlighted how begging is often linked to theft and the exploitation of children, the sick and
people of determination for illicit gains.
