The Sharjah Criminal Court has filed a complaint against 17 people from Asian countries accused of entering and destroying a contracting company and stealing and selling electrical wires worth 270,000 dirhams.
The details of the case are that a number of defendants entered a contracting company in Sharjah by damaging its door and breaking it, and managed to steal the contents, possessions and rolls of electrical wires from inside warehouses, and sell them to the other defendants who work and own scrapa in one of the industrial zones in the emirate.
The investigation teams ambushed one of the defendants in the industrial zone after receiving a report that a theft of 270,000 dirhams had been seized. He admitted to buying 16,000 dirhams of electricity charges from the defendants and sold them for another 17,000 dirhams. The court faced the first to eleventh accused on charges that they entered the company and damaged the door and stole the seizures from inside, and then sold to the rest of the defendants, and denied the charges.
The court also accused the defendants of the 12 to 17 of the charges against them, that they bought stolen building materials and possession of amounts below the market price, despite knowing that they were stolen, denied the charges, and said they do not know that they were stolen.
The court decided to postpone the case to 10 December to summon witnesses to testify, and to confront them with the accused.
