Lieutenant Colonel Salim Al Rumaithi, Deputy Director of the Criminal Investigation General Department of Dubai Police, said police received a tip-off last month about three suspects allegedly offering international phone calls at a cheap price.

The same day the tip-off

On the same day the tip-off was received, police said they organised three teams to raid the three locations and arrest the suspects. A.B. was picked up from the Hamdan area, M.A. from Hor Al Anz and M.A. from Satwa, police said. A search of their apartments yielded multiple mobile phones and wireless communication equipment and computers.

All three confessed to illegally operating voice-over internet protocol channels and were handed to the authorities for further procedures, police said.
