Two men have been sentenced to three months in prison and fined by the Dubai Criminal Court for stealing cigarettes, perfume and a leather passport cover from Dubai Duty Free.
The accused committed the crime three times. He was arrested after the third time. They had been captured by surveillance cameras at all times. The accused confessed to their crimes.
Records from the investigation say certain items were missing from Duty Free shops at Dubai International Airport. After reviewing the surveillance tapes, staff there saw the defendant pick up the perfumes and cigarettes. The defendants then put it in their luggage and left without paying for the items.
An employee of the loss prevention department said that last April he saw the first accused stealing two perfumes and hiding them in his bag. Two weeks later, they were caught on camera again, this time stealing a leather passport cover. He was then caught and handed over to the police. The man then told police about his friend.
