ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Tuesday, March 31st 2015 [ME NewsWire]
Colonel
Mohammed Ibrahim Al Bairaq, Director General of Police Operations at
Umm Al Quwain Police General Headquarters (GHQ) indicated that reports
of theft across all police stations are generally very limited. During
the period between the beginning of 2015 and the end of March, no more
than 10 reports were received; with most reports due to minor theft in
homes.
The Umm Al Quwain Police GHQ warned against spreading
false rumors and any unreliable news that can be disruptive and
negatively impact social, cultural, economic, and security levels. The
Umm Al Quwain Police GHQ additionally emphasized that the gossip that
has been circulating amongst the people of Umm Al Quwain regarding
thefts in the emirate is based purely on rumors, and only confuses
citizens and residents in the country.
Colonel Al Bairaq also
called upon residents and citizens not to spread unreliable information
and rumors. Reassuring community members, he said: “The police and
security authorities are exerting significant efforts in following-up on
reports regarding thefts. We will arrest anyone who attempts to violate
the security and stability of the country.”
He called upon
citizens and residents to ensure that they receive their information
from reliable sources only, to cooperate with police and security
authorities, and to report any situation that may raise suspicion or
mistrust. Reports may be made by directly contacting the emergency
number 999 or by calling the following numbers: 067062000, 067062999.
Moreover,
he praised the role of the media in educating and raising awareness
amongst community members; and for their role in disseminating the
actual facts and figures regarding the incidents. He concluded by urging
everyone to “abstain from spreading false rumors. Those who spread such
rumors will subsequently face penalties.”
