Dubai: Dubai Police arrested a four-member gang involved in stealing money from bank customers.

The suspects monitored the movement of bank customers and used to puncture the car tyres of probable victims.

As soon as the victim reached the car and placed the money in the car, one of the suspects would approach the victim and point out the burst tyre.

When the victims check their car tyres, the suspects would vanish with the money. A number of bank customers of different nationalities have fallen victim to the gang's tactics.

Police have warned bank customers to be cautious.
