It was first discovered when a woman had been begging near a mosque in the country in the hopes of getting some money while her Toyota Land Cruiser was parked at some distance. The Dubai police aim to bust these rogue beggars on the upcoming Ramadan considering they take advantage of the sacred month.

A number of these advanced beggars, travelling in a minibus, soon to be placed at separate locations, were arrested by the Police and there have been more than 4000 arrests regarding this issue. It has also been stated by the Police that the beggars caught in the act will be imprisoned.
