The Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance awarded two Pakistanis one year in jail for stealing batteries of vehicles.

The court also ordered GS, 40, driver, and GN, 31, shepherd, to be deported after serving their jail term.

According to the records, on December 31, NL, driver in a charity organisation, headed to the vehicles and tried to start one of them. He found out that batteries of two vehicles were missing, so he informed the police.

The two admitted to stealing a number of batteries of vehicles in Al Nahda.

GS admitted to selling the batteries to Bangladeshi workers in a scrap shop in Sharjah.
