Man steals money to buy dog

A young Bahraini stole BD1,700 from his close friend and spent it on buying a dog, car accessories and a phone, the court heard. Being a good friend, the victim would often host the accused in his apartment, say, prosecutors. The accused allegedly stole the money from his friend’s apartment while the victim was away at a gym.

However, the identity of the accused was revealed after the police officers reviewed images caught by CCTV cameras installed in the building. “He would often visit my apartment. But I never thought he would do this to me,” the victim told prosecutors. The accused was tried before the Lower Criminal Court which gave him a suspended six month’s imprisonment.
