An Asian porter has been sentenced to jail for three months, fined Dh28,000 and will be deported after he serves his sentence. He was convicted for stealing six iPhones from a passenger's bag at the Dubai International Airport.

Last March, an Asian traveller realised that six iPhone 12 smartphones were missing from his luggage when he reached his destination. He then returned to Dubai and filed a report with the police.
