Four robbers of Asian nationality have been jailed for stealing Dh709,000 from an electronics company in the Naif area in Dubai.
According to police records, this case dates back to last December. A man filed a report saying that his company headquarters, an electronics store, had been robbed under duress by four people.
He said that one of his employees called him and told him that a gang of four pretending to be CID officers came to the store and forced them to open the safe. They then made away with Dh709,000.
The man said that when he entered the office, he found three employees in a state of fear. He also saw that the money safe was open and empty.
An investigation team was able to collect evidence from the scene of the crime, including surveillance footage. They identified the four robbers and arrested three of them in a hotel in a neighbouring emirate. They had Dh600,000 on their person, which they admitted was stolen from the electronics store.
One of the men who was arrested said that he and his brother participated in the robbery after the fourth member, who was not with them at the time of arrest, told them that that company was engaging in illegal activity. They agreed to monitor the store for several days before robbing it.
The Dubai Criminal Court convicted them and sentenced all four robbers to two years in prison. The fourth one was convicted in absentia. They were jointly fined Dh709,000 and will be deported after serving their sentence.
