Last March, the Gulf visitor filed a complaint that his wristwatch worth around AED 58,000 was lost from the hotel’s health club in which he was staying.
A team of detectives interrogated the health club personnel. An Asian masseur admitted that he had found the wristwatch in a water closet inside the health club and had hidden it inside the massage room to steal it.
