The 24-year-old worker, identified as S.F., even caused bruises on his hands to show that he was actually attacked by some persons but he could not get the better of the smart cops who called his bluff by making him reenact the scene on the street, which was bustling with people.
During police interrogation, S.F. said he was walking through a dark and narrow avenue leading to the shop when some persons attacked him causing wounds on his hands and snatched the money from him.
However, police officers who were deployed in the area that day said the street was full of shoppers because of Eid Al Adha. This raised suspicion about the worker though the businessman told the cops that he trusted him.
The police learnt that S.F. was hired two years ago and he was getting Dh900 in monthly salary. The police called in forensic doctors who confirmed that the scratches found on his hands were only on the surface, not deep enough to assume that they were the result of violence or resistance.
Then, then the police took him for a walk on the busy street and asked him how he was attacked by a group of people without anyone else witnessing it. Realising that he had been caught, he confessed to stealing the money and hiding it below a water tank on the roof of a nearby building.
He hid the money in another building because he knew the police might search his room and building, said Lt-Colonel Ahmed Al Marri, Director of the Criminal Investigation Department.
The police returned the money to the businessman by 9pm on Monday itself. The businessman did not want to press charges against S.F., but the police informed him that they would follow the legal procedures and record this in his file so that he would not repeat the act, Lt-Col Al Marri said.
Brig Al Mansouri warned traders against trusting just one person to transport large sums of money and that they must assign a number of people or a specialised money transporting company.— news@khaleejtimes.com
