The Dubai criminal court has sentenced three Arab origin women to a six-month jail term, imposing a fine of Dh5, 000 each followed after they were convicted for exploiting their children and using them for begging.

As per police’s investigation, the trio made their children beg and made a livelihood out of their earnings. One of the women were arrested near a commercial centre after the authorities at Naif police station acted on a tip-off.
The first convict guided the police to the other two accused and they were arrested at the Dubai International Airport (DXB) while they were to flee from the UAE.
The trio confessed to their crime to the police and the court found them guilty of the charges and sentenced them.
Earlier in May, Dubai Police arrested 458 beggars during the holy month of Ramadan.
In the Gulf country, patrols and officers are intensified in areas that are frequented by beggars.
However, according to Federal Law No. 9 of 2018, anyone caught begging in the UAE will be fined Dh5, 000 and jailed for three months.
Moreover, those operating professional gangs of beggars or recruiting people from outside the country to work as beggars face a jail term of not less than six months and a minimum fine of Dh100, 000.
Furthermore, police also asked residents to report beggars to toll-free number 901 or via the police app.
