The police’s Air Wing recently came to the rescue of a French family of six whose vehicle got stuck in Al Faqaa area of Sharjah, UAE.

Brigadier pilot Abdullah Humaid Abdullah Al Shehi of the Air Wing at the Dubai Police command and control center, told Gulf News on Wednesday the air wing was recently involved in two operations involving people on off-road trips.

The first rescue operation took place when the Air Wing received a call from Sharjah Police about the stranded family.

A team from the Air Wing searched the area until they found the family far from the main road. They had a cellphone but no communication device with a map on which may have helped them in such a situation, he said.
