Three Azeri suspects arrested in Dubai with stolen jewelry: report
Three Azerbaijani suspects have been arrested in Dubai while
trying to flee with stolen jewellery worth $1.35 million, the UAE
media reported.
In cooperation with Dubai Police, the suspects were arrested on
Friday at the Dubai International Airport. The jewellery and
diamonds were reportedly found hidden in their hand baggage.
The suspects had deceived a salesman of a Dubai jewellery shop, a
senior official of Sharjah Police told the UAE-based Gulf News.
The Indian salesman filed a complaint at Buheira Police Station in
Sharjah on Thursday saying although he worked at an outlet in
Dubai, he had visited Sharjah in order to sell the jewellery to
clients who had visited his shop.
The three suspects had, on a visit to the jewellery shop, asked the
salesman to bring the items to their hotel to show their partner,
who would pay for them. When the salesman went there, they took the
jewellery and vanished, the report said.
Lieutenant Colonel Yousuf Al Naqbi, Director of Criminal and
Investigation Department at Sharjah Police, said: "The owners of
jewellery shops should be aware that there are gangs looking to
steal. All employees and owners should be more aware and they
should not allow customers to make payments anywhere except in the
shop."*
