Avatar

Police are trying to cut down the number of stolen license plates in Dubai, which means you should be careful where you leave your car. 

Almost 800 theft cases have been investigated over the past three years by Dubai Police, noting that plates are more often than not stolen for the purposes of: burglaries, facilitating prostitution and smuggling of cars or alcohol.  

Police also warned that personalised and rare plates could be tempting targets for the thieves. 

The Roads and Transport Authority, Dubai Public Prosecution and many other Government departments are discussing new methods to reduce these alarming rates. 

One solution being discussed by authorities and private companies is the introduction of E-license plates into the country.
