DUBAI - Dubai Municipality inspectors, in cooperation with Dubai Police and the Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department, nabbed last month 466 persons including street vendors, beggars and illegal car washers.

The sweep against the law-breakers had also resulted in the seizure of several low-quality goods and pirated CDs.

Civic inspectors conduct daily spot checks in streets and public places to prevent street vending, begging and car washing in public places by individuals in violation of a ruling by the Ministry of Labour in this regard.

Inspectors at the Control Unit of the Markets Administration Section in the Assets Management Department carry out regular checks to book the violators.

In May 2010, they caught 357 street vendors, 25 beggars, 67 car washers and 17 illegal butchers and fish cleaners.
