A Gulf man claiming he is a policeman stopped an Asian worker near an industrial zone in Dubai, produced a fake police card and asked him to get in his car.
Scared, the Asian quietly got in the car but instead of taking him to the station, the presumed cop drove to an isolated area late night and stopped the car.
He then ordered the shaking expatriate to hand him his ID card, his mobile phone, nearly Dh3,000 he had in his pocket and four Du top-up phone cards.
The Gulf man then ordered the Asian to get out of the car before he drove away, leaving his victim in a state of a shock.
Police managed to arrest the fake cop based on the description given by the victim and a supermarket worker who saw the Asian led out of the shop by the Gulf man.
