The gang operated by sending SMS messages, emails, and online links that appeared to originate from trusted sources, tricking individuals into entering their banking information.
Once victims submitted their details, the criminals used the information to withdraw funds from their accounts.
The operation was carried out by the Anti-Fraud Centre of Dubai Police, which collaborated with other authorities to analyze the fraudulent messages and track suspicious online activities.
This coordinated effort led to the identification and arrest of the gang members, along with the seizure of electronic devices used in the crimes.
Authorities have warned the public to be cautious when clicking on links from unverified sources, even if they seem legitimate.
Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious links through the Dubai Police App or by visiting the nearest police station.
This arrest follows a series of successful operations by Dubai Police targeting cybercriminals. In recent months, multiple gangs have been apprehended in efforts to combat banking fraud and protect the community from scams.
