A reckless motorist dodged police in Sharjah during a high-speed chase but was arrested in Dubai.

Officers in Sharjah tried to stop the 21-year-old driver but he evaded them and headed to Dubai.

Sharjah Police immediately informed the officers in Dubai where he was arrested.

“His car was located and patrols were dispatched to his location in an attempt to stop him,” said Brig Jamal Al Jallaf, director of the General Department of Criminal Investigation at Dubai Police.

“Officers used warning signs to get him to stop his car but he didn’t comply with their orders and continued driving in a reckless and dangerous way.

“Legal action has been taken against the driver identified as A.A. He also has a criminal record.”

The man has been referred to the Public Prosecution and will be sent to court.

“Dubai Police will not tolerate offenders who endanger people’s lives, and those who refuse to comply with police orders,” Brig Al Jallaf said.
