MOBILE THIEF TO BE LOCKED UP FOR A MONTH
The Dubai Misdemeanour Court has sentenced a Sri Lankan national, Birya Syrel, to one month in jail followed by deportation for stealing a Nokia 6600 valued at Dh1,600. The victim of the theft had gone to an money exchange office in the Al Fahidi area in Dubai.
He told the the police that he had left his cellphone on a table and had gone to talk to an accountant. But on returning 15 minutes later, he found that the cellphone gone.
Investigations carried out by the police traced Syrel, who worked as a technician. Syrel, later, confessed that he had chanced upon the cellphone and had taken it for his personal use. He told the police that the cellphone was in a cupboard in a labour camp in Al Qouz.
The accused sought the court's mercy and pleaded that this was first offence. He informed the court that when the victim had called the phone, he had answered the call.
The cellphone owner pardoned him but the court sentenced him to a month in jail, followed by deportation.
