Witchcraft can grow money

Dubai police arrested three Cameroonian men who took money from people on the pretext that they could use witchcraft to make it grow, newspapers reported on July 15.

A police statement said the three had disappeared with money taken from people in the emirate under the pretense that they could multiply it through witchcraft.

It said the three men caught were remanded by undercover agents, but did not disclose the sums involved.

Dubai police said earlier they had arrested some African nationals who claimed to be able to multiply sums of money by dipping it in a magical solution.
