Cleaner steals from customer at exchange shop

An Asian cleaner working at an exchange shop in Dubai thought it was his lucky day when he saw a client placing an envelope filled with money on the desk and leaving.

The client was so busy with counting changed currency that he forgot that envelope and left the shop.

The cleaner, who was watching the client, did not warn him and left him get into his car and leave. He then picked the envelope and put it happily into his pocket, apparently not aware of the security cameras over his head.

A few hours later, the client returned to the shop and told the manager about the envelope. When the manager reviewed the film, he saw what the cleaner did and immediately phoned the police.

“The cleaner is on trial on charges of stealing money from a client and remitting it to his family in his home country,” the Arabic language daily Emarat Al Youm said.
