Criminals in Dubai ought to be shaking in their boots, as police in the Arab Emirate have introduced a flying motorbike.

It's a breeze: A camera mounted on the hoverbike gives a birds-eye view of the carpark

A new video shows a Dubai police officer testing out the new hoverbike, which has rotors instead of wheels that allow it to fly.

The hoverbike, capable of flying 16ft above ground, is seen emblazoned with Dubai police emblems as it is tested for the cameras.

The hover-bike was unveiled at the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX) this week.

Dubai police at the expo said it could enable police to get to crime scenes that would otherwise be hard to reach with a car or a motorbike, such as traffic jams.
