Dubai police have caught a beggar who owns three luxury cars and an immense amount of money, said an officer to Al Khaleej newspaper. The man admitted to amassing a fortune by asking people for money and was arrested amid an intensive anti-begging crackdown in the emirate during the holy month of Ramadan.
As per the officer, he would conclude his "begging shift" in broad daylight, shed his exhausted persona for a different appearance before driving away in his high-end luxury car. He relied on manipulating people's emotions, fabricating stories and masterfully creating humanitarian details to deliver a daily performance no less than any organised profit-driven enterprise, said Brigadier Ali Al Shamsi, Director of the Suspects and Criminal Phenomena Department.
