Theft is denied


A receptionist at the Atlantis hotel in Dubai went on trial yesterday accused of stealing dhs2,000 and a digital camera from the locker of one of the hotel’s guests.

Dubai Court of First Instance heard how the head of the hotel’s security received a call from the deputy manager in July after the defendant claimed he found an envelope full of cash.

“The defendant claimed that he had found the envelope in the locker area but the CCTV showed that he had taken dhs2,000 from it,” the head of security said.

“He also stole a digital camera for a customer who didn’t report it.”

The defendant has pleaded not guilty and the trial has been adjourned.

This is the second court case concerning theft at the Palm Jumeirah hotel recently.

In July, a cleaner pleaded guilty to stealing $1,000 from a guest’s room. He and a second defendant are awaiting sentence.
