The General Directorate of Criminal Evidence and Criminology at Dubai Police revealed that �partial forging' has become a novel method of counterfeiting currency.

Aqeel Al-Najjar, head of the Documents Inspection Department, explained that through this method, forgers divide the original currency into two halves, allowing them to use the same banknote twice.

Each halve is then pasted onto a fake note. Al-Najjar added that when the forgers use the currency in public, they hand it in using the side with the original note on top.

The police detected the first case of �partial forging' last year, and there have been several cases involving counterfeiting notes in the denominations of Dhs500, Dhs100, and Dhs20 in addition to notes of other currencies.

Al-Najjar said the department received 231 cases involving fake currency last year and 50 cases in the first quarter of this month.
