Dubai Police Arrest Beggar Owning Luxury Cars Amid Anti-Begging Campaign

Dubai Police arrested a beggar who owned three luxury cars and accumulated large sums of money through fraudulent begging during Ramadan. The suspect reportedly used fabricated stories to exploit public sympathy, begging in daylight before leaving in a luxury vehicle. The arrest is part of a wider 'Combat Begging' campaign, which detained 26 beggars in the first week, many of whom entered the UAE on visit visas. UAE law penalizes begging with fines and imprisonment, with harsher penalties for organized begging networks.
