Jewellery worth Dh320,000 and Dh60,000 in cash stolen from flat in
Dubai's Discovery Gardens
By Eman Al Baik
A jobless Armenian, along with accomplices, allegedly broke into a
woman's house and stole Dh320,000 worth of jewellery in addition to
Dh60,000 in cash.
The gang melted the jewellery and smuggled the gold in boxes outside
the country, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.
HH, 32, and his accomplices broke into the woman's flat when she was
away from 7.15am to 6.15pm on November 21, 2012.
The victim RH, 40, Indian marketing manager, returned to her home
in Discovery Gardens around 6.15pm and when she opened the door,
she saw the house was in a big mess. She called the police and also
found out that her jewellery worth Dh320,000 and Dh60,000 in cash
had been stolen.
A number of thefts had been committed around the same time and the
thieves had followed the same modus operandi. Police arrested HH
in another case and confronted him with this case. He admitted to
burgling the flat with the help of two others.
The accused admitted that they usually knock on the door and if nobody
opens it, they break the lock with a screw driver and burgle the flat.
He admitted that they had divided the cash amongst themselves and
melted the jewellery in a hotel in Abu Dhabi before smuggling it
outside the country by plane. His two accomplices sold the gold and
his share from the operation was Dh20,000 from the cash and Dh50,000
from selling the gold.
The court will reconvene on May 3.
