Dubai: A dyer was on Tuesday accused of sneaking into a housewife’s bedroom and stealing two golden rings.
The 28-year-old Bangladeshi dyer was carrying out maintenance works at the British housewife’s residence when he stole the rings from her wardrobe in October.
Shortly after the housewife realised that her two rings were missing, according to records, she called the police.
Prosecutors accused the suspect of stealing the rings.
The defendant pleaded guilty when he appeared before the Dubai Court of First Instance on Tuesday.
The Briton claimed to prosecutors that the incident happened after she asked the landlord to carry out some maintenance works in the flat.
“The company sent four workers [including the suspect] and their supervisor … they worked from 8am till 5.30pm. Two days later, the workers came again and finished the works between 8am and 6.30pm. A few days later, I went into my bedroom to put on the rings but I did not find them in the red box where I had kept them. I searched the room and turned it upside down to find the rings, but I did not find them. Thereafter, I suspected that one of the workers had stolen the rings … so I called the police,” she told the prosecutors.
The 28-year-old defendant was quoted as admitting to prosecutors that he stole the rings. A ruling is expected on January 22.
