A post shared by \u0634\u0631\u0637\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0627\u0631\u0642\u0629 (@shjpolice)<\/a> on

He urged the members of the community, and authorities on social media sites\u00a0and media itself not to publish news without cross checking the source.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“After examining the recording, we found his claims to be untrue.\u00a0<\/em>Such audio recordings published on social media sites greatly exaggerate such incidents and are factually flawed.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The content of the audio clip<\/h3>\n

According to KT, the man in the clip talks about\u00a0how robbers stole the contents of\u00a0two cars parked in front of the Sharjah Family Court that included money and personal documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also stated that it was the work of a gang who\u00a0would monitor their victims prior to the theft, and would use a special device to break the windows.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

And although the Sharjah Police confirmed the robberies, they categorically\u00a0denied the audio clip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
