A member of a gang of thieves, probably unaware of the presence of a video camera in the trading firm he was about to rob, went about the task un-masked.

The cameras captured his face clearly allowing the police to arrest him and the rest of the gang as well.

This video footage got by Emirates 24|7 shows the man committing the crime – without covering his face.

The four men can be clearly seen walking around the place and trying to open doors and safes.

The incident occurred on March 20 at a trading company in the Industrial Area of Sharjah.

About Dh140,000 was taken from the office.

A source said, “The police first arrested two men as part of another criminal offense.

“However, one of them happened to be involved in the team that robbed our store.

He led them to others who are working in a farm in Dubai and another member who lived on the UAE-Oman border,” the source said.
