Dubai police crackdown on drug trafficking, arresting 100 drug dealers with the help of GPS According to Gulf News, Dubai police launched a major crackdown on unknown drug dealers. It is reported that 100 drug dealers have been arrested so far during this crackdown.

Dubai police say the drug dealer contacted people through anonymous WhatsApp numbers and advertised various drugs. These drug dealers used to send WhatsApp messages in Arabic language and try to persuade the citizens to buy drugs. A campaign called "Unknown Messages" was launched to crack down on this network of drug dealers, during which crackdowns were launched against drug dealers.

According to Dubai Police, the arrested drug dealers were involved in selling drugs through GPS. This drug dealer would settle the transaction after burying the consignment of drugs in the ground at any particular place and then tell his client the location of the hidden drugs through GPS. Colonel Abdullah, a senior Dubai police official, said a special awareness campaign had been launched with the help of the Central Bank and the RTA Authority to protect citizens from drugs.

Citizens are urged to immediately report any message received through WhatsApp for sale of narcotics by contacting e-Crime Platform or Non-Emergency Hotline 901. Colonel Abdullah said the awareness campaign had yielded positive results, with calls to the 901 hotline increasing by 33%, while the e-crime platform received 632 complaints. The rate of complaints received on e-crime platform increased by 158% during the last 3 months
