Dubai Five-0: Police get a face lift with $550,000 Lamborghini
In a city of boundless bling, Dubai Police also are in hot pursuit after adding a nearly $550,000 Lamborghini to its fleet.
The sports car, painted in green-and-white colors of the Dubai force, will not likely be roaring after law breakers. Instead, it will be mostly dispatched to tourist areas to show - in the words of Major General Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina, Dubai Police’s Deputy Commander General - “how classy Dubai is.”
The two-door, two-seater sports car, which can reach speeds of up to 217mph, has been painted in the green-and-white colors of the Dubai Police force. It can go from 0 to 62mph in 2.9 seconds.
The Aventador was described by Lamborghini on its website as “a one-of-a-kind piece of art.”

Moroccan football hooligans rampage in Casablanca
Moroccan football hooligans rampaged through Casablanca, mugging pedestrians and smashing up carriages of the city’s new tram system, cars and public buses. Nearly 200 people have been arrested.
Fans from the capital Rabat paraded through Casablanca before Thursday’s match between clubs from the two cities and attacked people and property. No one was reported injured.
Police said Friday that 193 people were charged with vandalism and the destruction included eight tram carriages, seven public buses and 13 cars. People described on national television being attacked in the streets and mugged by the fans as well.
An inquiry has been launched to discover why more security forces weren’t present.
There is a fierce rivalry between Moroccan football clubs and there have been outbreaks of violence outside games in the past.
