Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Thursday, June 26th 2014 [ME NewsWire]

Lt. General HH Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior honored an officer in the rank of Captain and 6 non-commissioned officers and members of the Abu Dhabi Police in his office today, Thursday.

His Highness praised their courage and their excellence in teamwork. He also commended their professionalism, which allowed them to thwart an attempted robbery and arresting the perpetrators who have threatened the lives and properties in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi.

The meeting was attended by Major General Mohammed bin Al Awadhi Al Menhali, Director General of Police Operations at Abu Dhabi Police; Brigadier Ali Khalfan Al Dhaheri, Director General of the Headquarters Affairs at Abu Dhabi Police; Brigadier Omair Al Muhairi, Deputy Director of Police Operations at Abu Dhabi Police; Colonel Saud Al Saadi, Director of the Secretariat of the Office of HH the Minister; and Colonel Ojeil Ali Abdullah Al Junaibi, Director of the Western Region Police Directorate.

Colonel Al Junaibi lauded this kind gesture by His Highness by indicating, “This accolade is an incentive for staff members to carry out their duties with dedication.” He also promised to exert further efforts and dedication in the service of the nation and its citizens in order to prevent them from being at the risk of weak-minded people.

The honored police patrols had managed to foil the theft of power cables in the Western region by intervening and responding quickly, as per a precise and secure plan. The police officers confiscated the loot and arrested two gulf nationals suspected in the incident, identified as “N.A” (20 years) and “Gh.S” (20 years).

According to the details of the incident, one of the suspects, while driving an unmarked pickup, endangered the lives of the arrest team by deliberately ramming one of the patrols, resulting in damages to the vehicle. Moreover, he and his partner resisted the arrest by refusing to obey the order of the police to stop, and recklessly and dangerously fled in the vehicle. The team finally managed to surround and arrest the suspects in a sandy area. The investigation is still ongoing to uncover the circumstances of the incident.  

The arrest team included: Captain Sultan Mohammed Al Hameli, Search and Investigations Branch Manager in Madinat Zayed Police Station; Assistant Matar Khalfan Al Mazrouei; Sergeant Mohammed Rashid Al Mazrouei; Sergeant Bakhit Awad Al Menhali; First Policeman Hamad Saleh Al Menhali; First Policeman Salem Mabkhout Al Ameri; and Officer Khaled Mohammed Al Shamesi.
