Robbery of an electronics kiosk at the Mercato Mall in Jumeirah.

Three men from Georgia and a Russian woman were charged yesterday before the Dubai Criminal Courts with robbing an electronics kiosk at the Mercato Mall in Jumeirah.

While defendants, Besic T., 34, Bakriba M., 34, and Ana S., 23, pleaded not guilty to the charge, Gorky, 39 admitted his participation in the crime.

The four were arrested on March 2 after police tracked them down in Sharjah.

According to Lt Abdel Karim H., the alleged perpetrators were identified through footage captured by the mall’s security cameras on February 28.

Police said they separately raided the apartments of Ana and Bakriba where the stolen items were recovered. Gorky confessed to serving as the gang’s lookout.

More witnesses are scheduled to be presented before the court when trial resumes on April 9.
