A porter allegedly attempted to steal 40 boxes of French apples from his employer’s fruit company, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

HA, 53, Indian security guard in the company, noticed RI, 20, was taking boxes of apples in a trolley and heading outside.

“I stopped him and asked him why he is taking fruit boxes outside the store. He said that he intended to sell them for his profit. When I asked him if he did so before, he answered yes,” the guard told the store keeper, HA, who reported the incident to the police.

The porter admitted committing theft and attempted theft accusations.

The court will give its sentence on April 19.
