Dubai Police has warned the public from using the services of unlicensed massage centres.
The centres pose serious threats and can lead to individuals falling victim to extortionists.
Several campaigns have been launched by the Dubai Police to raise public awareness of the harmful services, track down locations and operators as well as arrest distributors of massage cards on vehicles.
From 2021 until the first quarter of 2022, 919 phone numbers found on the cards were disconnected, 5,900,000 massage cards were seized and 879 violators were arrested, with 588 people charged for violating public morals and 309 for printing and distributing massage cards.
Individuals can report illegal activities through the Dubai Eye app or by calling 901.
