A security guard stole Dh58,000 from an apartment in a building he was assigned to guard, taking advantage of the the fact that he had a copy to the key.

The details of the case date back to last July, when a woman reported the theft of money she left in her apartment. She stated that she left a sum of money in her bag and left the house. When she returned, she discovered the disappearance of Dh58,000 from her bag.
