Make sure that you secure your homes before leaving on holidays to avoid nasty surprises on return.
That’s the message from Dubai Public Prosecution, which is reminding holiday-goers to keep their valuables and money in safe places.
Residents can also sign up for the free home patrolling services offered by Dubai Police.
In a social media post, the authority has quoted a recent case where a villa became an easy target for thieves after its owner forgot to lock the doors before heading out on vacation.
