Two Indians who broke a surveillance camera they saw while were trying to steal from a store, were sentenced to one month in jail by the Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance.

According to the records, on January 1, 2011, MM and RK, both unemployed, broke into a store and while stealing things, they noticed a camera. They broke it, left behind the stolen things and ran away.

The theft was discovered by the store’s staff who found the lock of the gate broken and thrown inside the warehouse. Reviewing camera footage, it was found that two men had entered the store on Friday morning and filled a bag with pieces of pipe fittings. When they saw the camera, they  broke it, left the bag behind and fled.

Police arrested MM and RK, both 25, for their involvement in this and other thefts reported from the same area.
