The Sharjah Police in coordination with the Sharjah City Municipality authorities have intensified raids against abandoned vehicles in the emirate.
The move aims to prevent criminal activities and safeguard the image of Sharjah, the authorities said.
Police patrols and civic authorities are on the lookout for abandoned vehicles at public places. The vehicles can be used for illegal activities and they are being removed from residential and commercial areas, the authorities added.
The campaign aims to strengthen preventive measures, reduce thefts and help take necessary measures against illegal activities.
A warning poster will be put on an abandoned vehicle by the civic body authorities and the car will be confiscated after 48 hours. Sharjah Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) may take charge of the confiscated vehicle for a probe.
