| Dubai: Police have arrested three people in connection with a jewellery heist at Dubai’s Wafi City shopping mall.
Police told a press conference that Dh14m of jewellery had been stolen in the raid, and that it had been recovered.
The daring raid on April 15 stunned shoppers at the mall, as armed men crashed through the front doors of Wafi City in two stolen Audi cars.
They then threatened the staff at the exclusive Graff store, before getting back into their cars and driving away.
Police revealed that two of the arrests were made in the UAE, while one person was detained in an unspecified European country.
The total value of the jewellery stolen - which was recovered from a car in the UAE on Saturday - was Dh14m according to police.
It was revealed that one of the suspects provided logistical support to the gang, while the second was in charge of hiding the jewellery and sending it abroad.
Police also said the robbers, who were part of an international gang, used a plastic gun during the heist.

The one of arrested (right top) is very honest guy, i know him personally 10 years and more. They are owner of company from Dubai and its not part of any gang i am 100% sure. Why they are arrested, because has AUDI A6 (12 years old) before 1-2 year? Shame!
dude, they recover the stolen jewelery. Gosh, the guy above is nuts!!
and it only took them 2 weeks!

Did you notice that the (at least part) of the jewelery is still in a display case? -> http://www.gulfnews.com/images/07/04/29/30_nt_capture1_3.jpg
Considering that the initial reports stated that the robbers smashed display cases, and the fact that they were professionals. I have a question for you ... why would professionals walk around with jewelery in a display case? Isn't it kinda hard to hide/transport?
To anon:
The audi's in the movie were not 12 years old. Come on, this is dubai.. no old cars in the streets eh.
This is what happened. The cops had to catch some people to show that they are good. I feel bad for them ( the 2 guys) because the real ones got away. As arabs from all around the world, we all know that when a crime is committed, it should be solved as soon as possible (involved or not). You know what I mean??????????????????
