A 29-year-old African man was apprehended and referred to Criminal Court by the Dubai Public Prosecution for attacking and robbing a man at knifepoint with the help of other runaway accomplices in Dubai.
The case dates back to March 2020, when police operations room received a call about the robbery incident.
The officer testified saying, “we were dispatched to Al Nakheel Area to investigate a robbery at knifepoint, which left the victim scared.”
Apparently, the victim was walking towards his residence when he noticed an ongoing fight involving the defendant and his accomplices, who he was familiar with, and decided to stop and help end the quarrel.
During investigations, the victim testified that he had got to know a lady through MeetMe App for dating, and they exchanged numbers after chatting together and agreeing to meet. “I knew for about 20 days prior the robbery, and she had sent me photos of her and contacted me through two different numbers,” the victim said.
