Gang jailed in Dubai for stealing Dhs9,900 from a man's account after forcing him to reveal bank details over phone
Dubai Misdemeanour and minor offences court sentenced a five-member Asian gang to one month in jail, to be followed by deportation, and fined them Dhs9,900 for defrauding an Arab national by impersonating a police officer and stealing funds from his bank account. The case dates back to March 2025, when the victim filed a report with Dubai Police, stating he had lost Dhs9,900 after receiving a call from one of the suspects claiming he was a police officer tasked by the Central Bank to update his bank account details. The gangster threatened the victim that his account would be frozen if the victim did not disclose his card details and PIN so the victim complied, only to discover the amounts were withdrawn moments later. Dubai Police's Cybercrime Unit found out that the gangsters used a residential apartment in Deira as a hub for targeting victims across the UAE. Investigations revealed that smart phones used to contact victims and commit crimes were found hidden in plastic bags and shoes. Forensic analysis affirmed one device was used in the victim's case. On being questioned, the gangsters admitted to impersonating police, bank, or government officials, tricking victims into revealing bank details. They confessed that they were recruited and directed by a fugitive who had rented the apartment for them before fleeing the country. They added that he used to contact them via phone, instructing them to collect victims' bank card details and PINs. Once the data was obtained, he used to withdraw money from the victims' accounts and send the gang members monthly payments ranging from Dhs1,800 to Dhs2,000.

Murdered journalist and partner: Community aids police in arresting 3 more suspects
A major breakthrough has been made in the double murder case of Pretoria journalist Aserie Ndlovu and his partner Zodwa Mdhluli, after community members helped police track down and arrest three more suspects linked to the crime. According to Pretoria Rekord, the decomposed bodies of Ndlovu and Mdhluli were found last week in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga. The couple had been missing since February 18. A total of eight suspects have now been arrested in connection with the double murder, with several already having appeared in court. National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe says police issued an alert on Saturday requesting members of the public to assist the SAPS in tracing two outstanding suspects in this case. 'On Monday evening, SAPS crime intelligence officers, detectives, and the Cybercrime Unit, with the assistance of the community, pounced on the suspects at their hideout in Nokaneng near Rust de Winter, where the human remains believed to be of the missing journalist and partner were found. A DNA matching process is already underway to match the human remains found with the DNA of close family members.' Mathe confirmed that 24-year-old Thato 'Small' Madisha and 43-year-old Sello Uoane were arrested early this morning. A third suspect in the case was also arrested. National police commissioner General Fannie Masemola has commended the multidisciplinary team working on this case as well as the community members who assisted with information on the hideout of these three suspects. 'We thank the people of South Africa, particularly Mpumalanga, who have assisted our investigating team in tracing these suspects. 'The social media community must also be appreciated for sharing pictures of these suspects from far and wide. Together, we can do more with the co-operation of communities in fighting crime and apprehending dangerous criminals,' concluded Masemola. Meanwhile, the African Media and Communicators Forum and the National Press Club commend the police for their continued hard work in solving the case.
