CASE IN POINT

The Dubai Court of First Instance recently heard a case involving two Pakistani men who posed as policemen to kidnap and rob their countryman.

The 28-year-old victim was preparing to sleep at his shared accommodation in Al Karama area of Dubai when the two defendants, aged 28 and 35, entered the place, asking for him.

They posed as policemen and asked him to come with them to the police station. The defendants robbed Dh3,200 and the victim’s mobile phone. A police patrol later identified the two defendants and arrested them.
