Sharjah Police arrest ATM thieves



Three Nigerians were caught after a failed attempt to steal two ATMs in Sharjah industrial zone 10, Sharjah Police said on Saturday.

Police said the men cut off the electricity and destroyed the security camera to ensure they could not be identified while committing the crime.

The incident was reported to the police at 5am on December 5 last year.

Following investigations, police were able to track down the robbers. During questioning, the gang members confessed to their crime.

They have been referred to Sharjah Public Prosecution.

Top tips

Create and maintain a strong bond between yourself and your child, through sensitivity, responsiveness, touch, talk and play. “The bond you have with your kids is the blueprint for the relationships they will have later on in life,” says Dr Sarah Rasmi, a psychologist.
Set a good example. Practise what you preach, so if you want to raise kind children, they need to see you being kind and hear you explaining to them what kindness is. So, “narrate your behaviour”.
Praise the positive rather than focusing on the negative. Catch them when they’re being good and acknowledge it.
Show empathy towards your child’s needs as well as your own. Take care of yourself so that you can be calm, loving and respectful, rather than angry and frustrated.
Be open to communication, goal-setting and problem-solving, says Dr Thoraiya Kanafani. “It is important to recognise that there is a fine line between positive parenting and becoming parents who overanalyse their children and provide more emotional context than what is in the child’s emotional development to understand.”
