Two maids, friend rob old woman in Dubai 

Two housemaids and their friend, a shopkeeper, knocked the door of an apartment in Dubai. When its resident, a woman in her 60s, opened, they pushed her down, beat her up and stole more than Dh200,000 worth of jewelry.

The woman told police she had tried to resist, prompting the attackers to beat her until she lost consciousness before tying her up with a blanket. When she woke up a while later, she found that her little grandson was locked up in his room and all her jewelry had been stolen.

Police said they had arrested the three after receiving a tip off, adding that all burgled items had been recovered.
