Two men invited to a party at a villa owned by an Arab woman in Dubai turned out to be the thieves who stole more than Dh220,000 worth of jewelry and other items from the woman’s safe, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

The woman had informed the police that she had discovered all her jewelry and other personal items had disappeared just after she staged a private party at her house  and invited at least 30 people, the Arabic language daily Albayan said.

Police suspected the woman’s brother after she told them that he went out during the party and brought in two friends.

During interrogation, the two men, aged 28 and 29 years, denied first they were involved in the burglary but confessed later that they committed the crime.

“They told police that they found the safe’s key by accident and decided to steal its contents…police released the woman’s brother after deciding he was not involved.”
