Dubai Police recover AED1.1 million jewellery bag with Bangladesh officials' help
Through direct coordination with the UAE Embassy in Dhaka and the relevant Bangladeshi authorities, the jewellery bag was successfully located and returned to the owner
A Dubai-based jeweller has been reunited with precious jewellery worth approximately AED1.1 million after accidentally misplacing it during international travel, thanks to the intervention of Dubai Police.
The incident occurred when the jeweller travelled to a GCC country for an exhibition, carrying four bags of high-value diamond pieces. Upon arrival, he discovered one bag did not belong to him, realising he had lost his own case containing the valuable gems, reports Khaleej Times.
The resident immediately returned to the UAE the same day and filed a report with the General Department of Airport Security.

A specialised investigation team was formed, which discovered that a Bangladeshi traveller had mistakenly taken the jeweller's bag during security checks, believing it to be his own due to their striking similarity.
The traveller then flew back to Bangladesh, while the jeweller had unknowingly picked up the other man's similar-looking bag.
Dubai Police initiated the required legal and administrative measures.
Through direct coordination with the UAE Embassy in Dhaka and the relevant Bangladeshi authorities, the jewellery bag was successfully located and returned to the owner in the UAE.
In response to the situation, the jeweller expressed heartfelt thanks to Dubai Police while the Dubai Police commended Bangladeshi authorities, reaffirming their unwavering commitment to strengthening international partnerships in policing and law enforcement.
