A gang of four Arabs were arrested in Sharjah for stealing 1,840 laptops worth more than Dh1 million, Police said on Thursday. They were nabbed less than 48 hours after the heist.
An Asian man, who works in a transport services company, said he was on his way to deliver the laptops when the gang stopped him in an industrial area, pretending to be police officers. He discovered later that he had been scammed.
