Police recover stolen gold jewellery worth 2m

Dubai Police have recovered Dh2 million in gold stolen by masked thugs in a brazen smash-and-grab robbery at a Naif gold shop last Friday, reporting Gulfnews. Uniformed police officers raided the thieves’ hideout within 24 hours of the robbery, thwarting the group’s plans to flee the country, said Dubai’s top cop on Sunday. In total, five men and one woman from Hong Kong were busted in the raid on a rented flat in the Chinese cluster of International City in Dubai. Major-General Abdullah Khalifa Al Merri praised his officers’ work to apprehend the architects of a spectacular theft in such swift fashion.
