-

KALBA: The UAE Public Prosecutio­n ordered two Emiratis convicted in various traffic cases to perform community service in the city of Kalba, based on the judgment issued against them by the Kalba Court of First Instance.

The first convict will perform a month and a half, while the second will perform two months of community service, the Court ordered.

The UAE Public Prosecutio­n stated that the Kalba Court of First Instance convicted the defendants in separate traffic cases, and ordered them to perform community service.

Accordingl­y, the Public Prosecutio­n ordered the defendants to perform a cleaning and maintenanc­e service for public facilities, roads, squares, beaches, public parks, and reserves.

The Public Prosecutio­n aims to make a radical change in the behavior of the convicts by correcting them psychologi­cally and intellectu­ally, Dr. Saeed Belhaj, Director of the Kalba Public Prosecutio­n, said.

The enforcemen­t of these measures constitute­s a deterrent for irresponsi­ble behaviours conducted by young men, he added.

NO CHANGE IN SPEED OF RADAR CONTROL ON SHEIKH ZAYED TUNNEL: Abu Dhabi Police has denied what is being circulated on social media about changing the speed of radar control on the Sheikh Zayed Tunnel in Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi Police called on motorists to be guided by the speed signs on both sides of the road, and the electronic screens, affirming that the speed of radar control in the tunnel is 80 km/h.

Abu Dhabi Police advised members of the public to take informatio­n from official sources and avoid publishing and circulatin­g inaccurate and unconfirme­d informatio­n through social media.

Separately, the Abu Dhabi Police (ADP) warned the public about an advertisem­ent sent recently to many people offering cryptocurr­ency trading services.

It also urged the public to be cautious and not to be deceived by offers promising fast money.

Major General Mohammed Suhail Al Rashidi, Director of Criminal Security Sector, urged the public to not share their personal informatio­n or send or receive money from untrustwor­thy sources claiming to be cryptocurr­ency trading companies or plaforms.

Many fraudsters deceive people with promises of making significan­t amounts of money by trading cryptocurr­ency, he added, stressing that people should not purchase or trade

cryptocurr­encies that are virtual units not covered by concrete assets and not subject to any regulation­s or controls.
