Dubai Police return bag containing $20,000 , 150 grammes of gold, mobile phones to Arab traveller about to board Saudi flight

The General Department of Airport Security at Dubai Police returned a bag with all its valuable contents to an Arab woman who had lost it at Airport Terminal 1.

Colonel Abdullah Faisal Al Dossari, Director of Airport Terminal 1 Security Department, explained that an employee found a black bag in one of the open areas.

Upon searching its contents, it was found to contain $20,000, 150 grammes of gold, cash in other currencies, mobile phones of various brands, and personal documents, Al Dossari added.

He noted that the documents revealed the identity of the owner of the bag.

A task team was reportedly formed to find the owner of the bag and contact her to hand it over, especially since they had not received any reports of lost items with these specifications.

The operations room was informed and necessary measures were taken to reach the owner of the bag and contact her, Al Dossari indicated. He pointed out that the owner of the bag was about to leave the country for Saudi Arabia, and was in a state of extreme anxiety due to losing her bag, not knowing what to do, and fearing she would miss her flight.

Dubai Police handed the bag to the traveller after taking the necessary legal procedures and ensuring she possessed all the required permits and documents.

The passenger expressed her happiness and gratitude for the efforts of Dubai Police and their keenness to return lost items and make travellers happy.
