The Fast and the Luxurious: Dubai police gets Mercs and Bentleys.(AA).After generating headlines for their Ferraris and Lamborghinis, it seems Dubai police have a much bigger need for speed.
Adding luxury to crime fighting, the force has included Mercedes and Bentley cars to their fleet this week.
Photos of a Bentley and Mercedes SLS, painted in the colors of the force, were taken while they were parked in a Dubai Police garage.
The images were circulating on social media on Saturday, with the new cars having number plates 4 and 5.
Last month, with the introduction of Ferraris to the force, Dubai police head Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan explained why the force needed the luxury cars.
“Dubai is a unique city and everything in it should reflect its uniqueness and for that reason police will add a Ferrari sports car to its patrol fleet,” Khalfan said, according to local UAE news reports.
The $545,000 sports car will be used to keep order on the streets in high-end locations such as the area surrounding Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest skyscraper.
Other sports cars in the Dubai Police patrol fleet include $550,000 Lamborghinis and Chevy Camaro sports cars, which can often be seen on busy highways.Hmmmm.......Time to meet the Dark side of the Dubai dream.Read the full story here.
