Abu Dhabi: Police have advised motorists not to leave cash and valuables in their vehicles to avoid thefts.
The advice came as part of the awareness campaign launched by Abu Dhabi Police to educate motorists on how to avoid mistakes that lead to thefts in their vehicles.
Lieutenant General Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, honoured First Sergeant Faisal Al Hammadi, from security information management for foiling a robbery attempt in Abu Dhabi.
Al Hammadi had noticed the presence of two Asians acting in a suspicious way stalking a bank customer of Arab nationality as he left the bank with an envelope in his hand. When the Arab client got into his car, he put the bank envelop on the seat next to him.
The two Asians approached him pretending to warn him of a mechanical car problem they said could be seen from underneath the car. When the Arab stepped out of his car to check the said problem, one of the Asians stole the envelop that had Dh90,000
Thanks to Al Hammadi's alertness the two criminals were arrested. Police have also released a brochure in three languages, containing guidelines for people while withdrawing large amounts of money.
