An appeals court in the eastern town of Khor Fakkan sentenced an Emirati to six months in prison for stealing a Blackberry mobile phone from another man, press reports said on Thursday.

Police tracking the stolen handset arrested the boy, AMA, who confessed to pinching the phone from a car parked near a supermarket in the city.

A court had earlier sentenced the defendant to two years in jail, prompting him to appeal the verdict.
