DUBAI // Police who caught a masked, knife-wielding man – who took a woman hostage before stealing money from her company – are to be rewarded for their actions.
Syrian M A caused the victim superficial wounds before dropping her in the street after he had fled the premises.
Within 50 minutes and after a car chase, police arrested the man when his car collided with a police patrol vehicle.
As a reward from Sheikh Saif bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Maj Gen Khamis Al Muzeina, chief of Dubai Police, presented several officers at Al Rashidiya and Al Qusais stations with a professional excellence medal, as well as a financial reward for their dedication in the line of duty.
The police command centre received a call from an American reporting the armed robbery, which began at 1.55pm. The man stole an amount of money and threatened other employees not to approach him until he reached his car, while he held the woman.
Upon receiving the report, security and CID patrols rushed to the scene and the vehicle information and a description of the culprit were sent out to all patrols.
The Syrian was driving a stolen car when police caught him.

How to come clean about financial infidelity
- Be honest and transparent: It is always better to own up than be found out. Tell your partner everything they want to know. Show remorse. Inform them of the extent of the situation so they know what they are dealing with.
- Work on yourself: Be honest with yourself and your partner and figure out why you did it. Don’t be ashamed to ask for professional help.
- Give it time: Like any breach of trust, it requires time to rebuild. So be consistent, communicate often and be patient with your partner and yourself.
- Discuss your financial situation regularly: Ensure your spouse is involved in financial matters and decisions. Your ability to consistently follow through with what you say you are going to do when it comes to money can make all the difference in your partner’s willingness to trust you again.
- Work on a plan to resolve the problem together: If there is a lot of debt, for example, create a budget and financial plan together and ensure your partner is fully informed, involved and supported.
