DUBAI: Dubai police said on Monday they caught three thieves just hours after they stole a precious pink diamond worth $25 million.
“The Dubai Police General Command has foiled the theft of a very rare pink diamond, valued at $25 million,” the police said in a statement shared by the United Arab Emirates’ official news agency WAM.
A diamond trader who had brought the jewel from Europe was lured to a villa by a crime gang under the pretense of a viewing by a potential wealthy client, police said.
But the gem was stolen when the diamond dealer arrived for the bogus inspection, the statement added.
Within eight hours three people from an unspecified Asian country were arrested “thanks to the efforts of specialized and field teams, and by using the latest artificial intelligence technologies,” police said.
Video footage shared by the Dubai Media Office showed the three men with their faces blurred after their arrest as well as CCTV footage of the gang.
Dubai is an important hub for diamond trading. Tightly controlled and policed, the UAE prides itself on its security and stability.

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Monday said the International Stabilization Force for Gaza is already running and that more countries would be added.
“I think that, in a form, it’s already running,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “More and more countries are coming into it. They’re already in but they’ll send any number of troops that I ask them to send.”
