According to Sharjah police, three of the men duped a Gulf national at a meeting in an industrial area of the emirate.
The Director of the Department of Investigations and Criminal Investigations of Sharjah Police, praised his officers speed and accuracy in arresting the gang members.
They managed to identify one of the perpetrators, arrested him in a residential neighborhood, and searched the vehicle he was driving.
