Men rob and then kick woman out of moving car

- SALAM AL AMIR

Two men had sex with a prostitute on the back seat of a car and then robbed and kicked her out of the moving vehicle, prosecutor­s told Dubai Criminal Court.

The woman, 21, told investigat­ors she met the men on April 28 this year.

After agreeing on a price, the Pakistani woman got into the car with the Indian and Pakistani men, who drove to a remote area. “Afterwards one of them went through my purse and took Dh600, then snatched my phone and threw me out of the car.”

She filed a report claiming kidnap and rape.

“We initiated investigat­ions and the woman took us to the location where she said the men kidnapped her, it was near a hotel. So we checked the cameras in the area and saw that she spoke to a man for a while then got into the car with him willingly,” said an Emirati policeman.

She was arrested for filing an incorrect report and deported.

Police identified the men from the number plate and arrested them while they were talking to women in the same area they had met the prostitute. “They resisted arrest and hit a police patrol that was chasing them but were arrested and referred to Al Raffa police station,” the officer said.

The pair, of ages 24 and 36, admitted to regularly targeting prostitute­s in the area.

Both men denied the charge of theft.

The next hearing will be on July 27.
