A 21-year-old man has been charged at the Dubai Court of First Instance for allegedly robbing Dh25,850 worth of power cables from his workplace.

During the investigation, the witness said that when they confronted the security guard about the robbery, he confessed immediately, claiming to have committed it together with the other two fugitives. The man blamed it on the financial problems he had been going through.
