The Bentley,  Mercedes SLS and the Dh11-million Aston Martin One-77 are set to join the elite Dubai Police patrolling fleet, a Dubai Police source has confirmed to Emirates 24|7.

“The announcement of the three super cars (Aston Martin, Bentley and Mercedes SLS) joining the police team will be made on Monday at the Arabian Travel Market 2013,” a police official, who requested anonymity, said.

“These super cars will be stationed at tourist places,” he added.

In May, images surfaced online indicated that an Aston Martin One-77 was to join the Dubai Police fleet following a leaked image in April showed a Bentley and a Mercedes SLS ready to get a makeover to join the police patrol squad.

There are only seven Aston Martin One-77 in the world, with a price tag of Dh11 million; which was the asking price of the car that was put up for sale at the Al Ain Class Motors following the car’s launch at the Geneva Auto Show in 2012.

On Sunday, a picture tweeted by Khalid N Alrazooqi, a DNRD employee, shows a decked up Bentley and Merc with the police insignia with a number plate 4 and 5. Dubai Police is yet to officially release the pictures.

Chevrolet Camaro, a BMW 5 series, a Lamborghini Aventador and a Ferrari FF are part of the elite patrolling fleet. Last month, Dubai Police had unveiled images of the Camaro and the Beemer 5 series on its official Facebook and Twitter accounts, as part of a public campaign to spruce up the supercar patrolling fleet.

The Lamborghini Aventador took to the streets with its number ‘8’ license plate last month followed by the Ferrari FF.

Dubai Police Chief Lt General Dhahi Khalfan Al Tamim has said the luxury sports cars were slated to be used for security purposes with the Ferrari FF being driven by female patrol officers.
