Chinese gangs

A while ago I tweeted about the 15 or so police cars that were on my street in the middle of the night; I first noticed two police cars at about 3:30AM and then stayed up until about 9AM watching them perform a massive manhunt; the total number of Police and CID personal was astounding.

Apparently, it was a Chinese gang in action and they had stolen from a few houses in the area; the police had caught one of them red handed but he had evaded them; initially everyone thought they'd only stolen from one house and it must've been someone important for them to send out more than a dozen squad cars.

From what I have heard the entire gang was caught and arrested a few days later and were then paraded around our neighborhood (I must have missed this part)

I have to say it is impressive to know the CID and Dubai Police take theft so seriously and it goes to show how safe the UAE is when it comes to 'gang' crimes.
