19 Nigerians who specialize in robbing
Automated Teller Machines (ATM) in the
United States Emirate, have been arrested
by the police after months of painstaking

The Sharjah Police, in a statement, said that the

time they were arrested, they had stolen Dh1.8
million, (about N 154 million).

The statement added that the suspects were
arrested from several apartments occupied by

According to Khaleej Times, the Nigerian
robbers had come to the country on visit visas
specifically to commit the robberies and in the
process of their crime spree, they assaulted
security guards accompanying the vehicles to
carry out the robberies.


Addressing a press conference, the Director of
Police Operations Department, Colonel Rashid

committed four daring and violent robberies
targeting money transportation vehicles that
were delivering cash to ATMs.

At the conference, Col. Bayat said:
“The first robbery was committed at the ATM of
the Dubai Commercial Bank on King Abdul Aziz
Road, where the robbers assaulted security guards
and fled with Dh340,000.
After two days, the gang struck again at an ATM
near Saferr Mall in Al Nahda area, where they fled
with Dh700,000.


They also attacked a cash transportation vehicle
in Al Muweilah area, making off with Dh710,000.
The fourth attack at an ATM on Shaikh
Mohammed bin Zayed Road was foiled by the
police.”
According to the police, the suspects had
transferred a part of the robbed money to
Nigeria while efforts are being made to recover
the rest of the loot and return them to their
owners.

The suspects, the police added, were identified
and arrested based on CCTV footages obtained
from the banks and money exchange offices,
said the police.
