Indian man jailed for stealing mobile phone at Dubai airport

Dubai: A storehouse keeper has been jailed for three months for stealing a mobile phone from Dubai airport and keeping it with his wife, who faces a three-month suspended sentence.
The Dubai Court of First Instance convicted the 33-year-old Indian of stealing a mobile phone which was left behind in a washroom at Dubai International Airport's duty free section.
Presiding Judge Al Saeed Mohammad Barghout also convicted his 33-year-old Indian wife, but suspended her sentence after she claimed that she was unaware that the mobile phone was stolen.
Prosecutors charged the keeper, A.H., with stealing the mobile phone, which belonged to an Emirati police sergeant. A.H.'s wife, M.L. was charged with possessing stolen goods.
The primary judgment is still subject to appeal within 15 days.
