Dubai Police arrest couple for stealing diamond ring worth Dh500,000

Police arrested a couple for stealing a diamond ring worth half-a-million dirhams from a shop in Madinat Jumeirah.

According to Dubai Police, the couple arrived at the jewellery shop and started looking around. After a while, they decided on a diamond ring costing Dh500,000.
They returned the jewellery box back to the salesman and the male customer said he would get the money from his sister. Sometime after the man went out to get the money, the woman too disappeared. When the couple failed to return after sometime, the salesman decided to keep the jewellery box back in the shelf.

But the salesman was shocked to find the box empty and the diamond ring missing.

The shopkeeper immediately alerted the police. The two were arrested 24 hours after the theft. The suspects have been referred to the Public Prosecution. Source
