Man on trial for stealing Dh70 in RAK

An Arab man is standing trial in Ras Al Khaimah on charges of stealing Dh70 from a charity donation box at a supermarket, a newspaper said on Wednesday.

Police arrested the man after he was caught on camera smashing the box and taking the money, most of which were coins, Al Khaleej said.

An Asian cleaner at the supermarket saw the Arab burgling the box and reported him to the police, who examined the security camera and identified the thief, it said, adding that the man is to be sentenced at the next court session.
