Dubai Misdemeanor Court sentenced an Asian to one month in jail to be followed by deportation and fined him Dhs700 for stealing an electric scooter near a gym in Dubai Silicon Oasis area in Dubai
The case dates back to last March when an Arab reported to the police that he discovered that his electric scooter, which he had left in a designated parking space near his workplace in Dubai Silicon Oasis area, had been stolen.
He stated that he used to commute between his home and his workplace using his electric scooter, which he used to park in the same place before using it again to return home.
On the day of the incident, he did not find his electric scooter in the designated place and thought he had parked it in another place, he added, noting that he kept searching the surrounding area until he was certain that it had been stolen. He informed the police accordingly.
A policeman stated in the interrogations that a team of detectives gathered inferences from the place and checked the surveillance cameras to find that an Asian had stolen the electric scooter as soon as he left a fast food restaurant. The defendant used a tool to unlock the electric scooter and fled away. The defendant was later arrested.
On interrogation, the defendant admitted that he had stolen the electric scooter, which was parked near the restaurant where he was eating.
