Dubai: A gang of three who stole valuables worth millions of dirhams from a Dubai villa were on Monday sentenced to two years in prison and deportation.
###
The three defendants from Chile arrived through Dubai International Airport in February 2019 and rented a car to monitor villas at Emirates Hills. They brought gloves, screwdrivers and torch from a supermarket to commit the robbery after sunset.
###
They entered a huge seven bedroom villa and stole 15 expensive watches of famous brands worth more than $1.5 million (Dh5.5 million), jewellery worth $4 million, three Luis Viton women bags worth $15,000, three sunglasses worth $6,000, 15 banknotes of Indian currency, cash and other valuable items.
###
The 66-year-old British villa owner reported the incident to the police who arrested the defendants in less than 24 hours. They were caught from a hotel and the stolen items recovered.
###
The British villa owner said that a domestic worker discovered the robbery.
###
“The defendants had broken the window lock to enter the house,” the businessman said in records.
###
The defendants confessed they came to Dubai on tourist visas with plans to commit robberies on villas.
###
“They also confessed to renting a car from the airport and broke into the villa after spotting luxury cars parked in front it. They stole the items and put it in a bag and checked into a hotel in Deira,” a policeman said in records.
