Scores rounded up at Jumeirah beach

There was no police explanation on the incident. It appears the action was aimed at ensuring no nuisance is caused to families and tourists, who land up on the beach in sizeable numbers.

All the men detained for a while were released later in the day, but not before their pictures and finger-prints were taken.

The beach had a larger presence yesterday, it being a holiday. Many families turned up with their children, as the schools are having their vacation.
