Police recover Dh1.2 mln stolen from a bank staff’s car

Dubai Police have recovered Dh1.2 million stolen from the car of a Dubai-based bank employee, it was stated yesterday by Brigadier Khamis Mattar Al Mazina, director of the General Department of Criminal Investigation of Dubai Police.
The theft was committed last Monday, when the black Toyota Camry car was parked in the parking area of Hamrain Shopping Centre, Al Mazina said. One of the windows of the car had been broken open by the thieves.

Two Arab employees of a bank, A.M and M.M, were asked to deposit an amount of Dh2.1 million in various ATM machines of the bank and they first went to the Hamrian Centre. The car belongs to A.M.
The two men told the CID team that they had parked the car at around 10.20am on Monday, after which they went to the ATM machine in the shopping centre to deposit Dh900,000. When they returned, they found one of the car windows broken open and the remaining Dh1,200,000, which they had kept in the car, gone.
The police managed to identify the thieves, who had fled to a neighbouring country. With the coordination of the security authorities of the neighbouring country, Dubai Police managed to arrest two Canadian citizens of Iraqi origin, A.G and J.G.
During their interrogation, they told the police that they had been shadowing the two bank officials right from the time they had taken the money from the bank, and they followed them right to the parking area. Source
