Dubai: A jobless man landed in hot water after he reportedly stole a man's wallet and used his health card during a police probe, heard a court on Saturday.
Records said police called up the Emirati man whom the 27-year-old Syrian suspect had impersonated during the probe and told him that the suspect found his wallet and kept its contents.
The Emirati, H.S., told the police that he lost his wallet sometime ago and didn't know that it had been stolen. The Public Prosecution charged the suspect for impersonation.
