An Arab man and his girlfriend were arrested after stealing luggage of other passengers at the Dubai International Airport.

The couple was arrested after several reports of missing luggage in the airport which lead to the management to create a team to investigate on the case.

During investigation, the team was able to narrow the possible suspects to ten individuals.

Further investigation identified the possible suspect as one of the Arab passengers of the airport who is being assisted by his girlfriend in doing the crime.

Authorities monitored the future travel activities of the man and found out that he would be travelling to UAE on December 30.

On the day of the flight, authorities monitored the activities of the Arab man who was caught stealing luggage of other passengers with his girlfriend. The two were also caught removing identifying stickers from the luggage.

Authorities also asked the man regarding the contents of the luggage to which he responded with clothes and saffron. When the luggage was opened, however, the bags contained wrapped Christmas gifts.

The Arab man continued to deny stealing the luggage despite the authorities’ questioning regarding the mismatch between his passport and the luggage.

The woman, meanwhile, immediately confessed that the Arab man asked her to remove the stickers from the luggage.

The two were handed to the Dubai Police to face legal charges.
