Dubai Police honour resident for returning AED 100,000

Dubai Police have honoured an Indian resident for handing over AED 100,000 after finding it at a parking lot near Al Raffa.

The incident occurred as a private company owner in the shipping business had accidentally dropped the cash from a paper envelope containing AED 200,000 that was withdrawn from a bank. 

The owner had hurried to the car without closing his envelope properly, and was unaware of the money that fell out. 

The resident, Mohammed Ali Sherakal Mohi, was surprised to find the cash at the parking lot, and immediately photographed it. He later headed to the Al Raffa Police Station, and handed over the money while showing the exact location. 

An investigation was carried out by the authorities, who managed to identify and return the money to the owner within three hours. 

The owner expressed his deep gratitude to Dubai Police and to the resident who found the money, praising the level of safety and security in the emirate of Dubai.

Colonel Ahmed Obaid bin Hudaiba, Director of Al Raffa Police Station, along with his deputy Colonel Saleh Hassan Al Marzouqi and Captain Ali Haji Al Balushi, Head of the Customer Happiness Section at Al Raffa Police Station, honoured Mohi's actions, praising him for his honesty and dedication to turning the money over to the police station for return to its rightful owner.
