Sharjah Police have detained four suspects in connection with a series of vehicle thefts across the emirate. Colonel Hamid Saeed Al-Jallaf, Acting Director of the Central Region Police Department, stated that the department had received many reports that several automobiles had been stolen from residences after the owners had left their keys inside. The police promptly organized a team of criminal detectives who gathered evidence and identified three individuals.
