Asian worker arrested for stealing a mobile phone

The Fujairah Misdemeanour Court looked into a case in which an Asian worker is charged with stealing a mobile phone belonging to a GCC national. The defendant confessed to the theft but failed to know the “password” to use it.

The victim said that he forgot his phone while shopping with his family in a shopping mall, pointing out that he filed a report at the police station that he lost his phone.

The defendant went to a mobile phone repair shop and asked the technician to reset the mobile pin claiming to have forgotten the password. The suspicious technician handed the mobile phone to the store owner, who in turn called the police. They came immediately and arrested the defendant.

The judiciary adjourned the judgment until completion of hearings.
