SP swiftly capture driver after 3-vehicle collision
Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed Abdullah Alai, Director of the Traffic and Patrols Department at Sharjah Police, highlighted that not following lane rules is one of the main causes of traffic accidents. This behaviour is very dangerous, especially on high-speed roads where limits can reach 120 km/h, making sudden lane changes a serious threat to other drivers.
No Injuries Reported
Colonel Abdullah Alai confirmed that, thankfully, no one was injured in the accident. However, he stressed that leaving the scene of an accident is a crime and shows a serious lack of concern for others' safety and responsibility.
Legal Penalties Outlined
He explained that leaving the scene of an accident is a serious traffic violation under UAE Federal Traffic Law. This can lead to up to one year in jail or a fine between AED 50,000 and AED 100,000, or both. He encouraged all drivers to follow traffic rules, stay in their lanes, and use signals when changing lanes to keep the roads safe and maintain order.

Dubai Police recovers jewelry bag worth AED 1.1M mistakenly taken to Bangladesh
Dubai Police has successfully recovered a jewelry bag containing diamond pieces valued at approximately AED 1.1 million after it was mistakenly taken to Bangladesh in an airport baggage mix-up. The bag belonged to a Dubai-based jeweler who had traveled to a neighboring Gulf country to attend a jewelry exhibition. He was carrying four bags filled with precious items, but upon arrival, discovered that one of them was not his. He immediately returned to the UAE and filed a report with the General Department of Airport Security. Investigators later found that a Bangladeshi passenger had unintentionally taken the jeweler's bag during airport security screening, mistaking it for his own due to their identical appearance. By then, the passenger had already returned to Bangladesh. Dubai Police then coordinated with the UAE Embassy in Dhaka to track down the bag and initiate the necessary legal procedures. Through the joint efforts of authorities in both countries, the bag was located and returned safely to its rightful owner. Dubai Police extended its appreciation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and His Excellency Abdulla Ali Abdulla Al Hamoudi, UAE Ambassador to Bangladesh, and his team for facilitating the recovery and ensuring a smooth handover process. 'I truly don't know how to find the words to express my appreciation. Your remarkable attention to detail and sincere commitment to making people happy are beyond commendable,' the jeweler said, lauding the authorities for their swift response.
