Gardener held for stealing Dh1.5 million from villa
The Dubai Police on Tuesday arrested a Bangladeshi gardener for allegedly stealing Dh1.5 million from a villa in Al Garhoud.
On Monday, an Indian businessman called up the police to inform them that he found Dh1.5 million in cash kept in his cupboard missing after he returned from an evening outing with his family.
While enquiring about the people who had access to the villa, the businessman informed the police that a Bangladeshi national, M.Iqbal, 27, who was not on his sponsorship, worked for him as part-time gardener.
He was not seen in the evening when the family returned home.
The CID officials learnt that Iqbal had some friends and relatives working in Al Aweer vegetable market.
The police detained a relative of the gardener who later disclosed that Iqbal was in a farm in Dubai.
The police raided the farm on Tuesday and arrested the suspect and seized the bag of stolen cash.
During interrogation, he confessed to the crime. Soon after the family went out, he sneaked into the master bedroom of the villa and stole the money.
He said he committed the crime because the businessman had not paid him his salary for the past several months.
He was promised a salary of Dh1,000 per month.
Brigadier Khamis Mattar Al Mazina, Director of General Department of Criminal Investigatation, warned the villa owners not to keep valuables and large amounts of cash at home.
He also noted that most villa owners left the windows and doors unlocked, encouraging thieves.
He added that the residents should not trust their domestic servants completely and allow them to enter their rooms. They should also keep their valuables in banks or safer places. Source
