a UK policeman friend told me that when he started in the detective branch every day a load of new cases hit his desk. His senior partner sorted thru these and graded them by whether they could be solved easily, the rest were put aside and in most cases never solved! Probably the same with police here, over demand for services, and they will try their best. Maybe more so for a Qatari victim but still mindful that they can waste hours on a case with no possibility of success except luck in solving them.

My own experience of Qatar police has thankfully been small, someone crashed a stolen car into mine, people in Qatari Dress, police came and dusted for fingerprints etc. but no result! Probably would be the same in UK, if there is no clear evidence what can be done?

I'll always be grateful to the Qatari police who towed me off the road when my car broke down and who stopped to help change a tyre in the high Summer. Overall a thank you to the police in Qatar from me.
