Dubai: Man jailed, deported for attempting to steal central AC system with five accomplices

An Asian has been arrested for attempting to steal a central air conditioning from a villa. He has been sentenced to three months in prison and will be deported.

The man had five accomplices who are currently at large.

Last July, a resident of Al Muteena in Dubai saw people entering a villa near his house. He said that he saw six people watch a villa and then one of them cut through a metal chain to enter.

He said that he continued to observe the accused until they entered the villa and then waited for them at the exit.
