Six Colombians were arrested in the United Arab Emirates after they made off with more than 240,000 dollars (260,000 Euros) worth of cash they snatched from two Indians, authorities said Monday. 

Police said four men and two women, all from Colombia, diverted the Indians' attention Sunday at the exit of a Dubai bank and snuck off with their bag holding 885,000 UAE dirhams. 

But police said they caught up with the Colombians less than six hours later and arrested them. They will be brought to court in the coming days -- DUBAI (AFP)
