Gang that “doubled money using black magic” arrested in Ajman
Suspects duped victims by giving them fake $100 bills
Ajman: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Ajman Police on Wednesday arrested two gangs accused of cheating people by claiming to have the ability to double their money using black magic.
The gang members, including two African men, were arrested and the fake money was seized from them.
Major Mohammad Yafoor Al Ghafli, deputy director of CID at Ajman Police, said the gang duped their victims by claiming to double money using black magic.
The police were tipped off about the illegal activities of the suspects, who duped victims by offering them black bank notes claiming they were $100 bills. Soon after the tip-off, a team was formed and an undercover officer met the suspects, seeking to double his money.
The police caught the suspects red-handed with the fake money. Tools used in the operation were also recovered from them.
Investigations revealed the suspects, identified as D.W.A. and F.B.A., are illegal residents.
Major Al Ghafli urged people not to fall prey to such scams and to report any illegal activities.
