Dubai Police arrested a street beggar who offered pedestrians a scale to weigh themselves for Dh1 in the Al Muraqqabat area according to Khaleej Times.
Colonel Ahmad Al Adidi, Acting Director of Anti-infiltrators at the General Department of Criminal Investigation, said the beggar was caught in cooperation with Al Muraqqabat Police Station after he was seen asking passersby to weigh themselves for Dh1.
“This is a new type of begging we are witnessing, besides the more common practices of selling Islamic artefacts like the beads, Quran-designed artefacts and decoration items," Al Adidi said.
