“Dubai police arrest two after diamond heist in mall”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Police have arrested two members of a gang who robbed a jewellery store in a mall, in a rare attack in the relatively safe Gulf emirate of Dubai, the official WAM news agency reported on Sunday.
WAM said Dubai police chief Dahi Khalfan told reporters the two suspects were arrested in the affluent emirate, while an extradition request had been filed for a third member of the gang being held in an unnamed European country.
The diamonds stolen in the April 15 robbery, worth more than four million dollars, were returned to their owners, WAM said, without giving the nationality of the suspects.
The robbers used a car to ram through one of the main glass gates of Wafi City Mall, then drove down the wide aisles of the shopping centre to the jewellery store.
A second getaway car followed and helped the thieves escape after they ransacked the store within just two minutes.
Khalfan said the members of the gang had travelled to the UAE from different countries to avoid raising the suspicion of security forces. Once in the country they were met by an accomplice who provided logistical support, including housing and visas.
He said that the accomplice who was arrested led the police to two shops where the robbers bought a fake pistol and a female traditional face-cover, which they used in the robbery.”
