Sharjah court orders deportation for man in villa AC theft case

## Court Decision

A Sharjah court has decided to deport an Arab national instead of imposing a two-year prison sentence after he was found guilty of stealing air conditioning units from a villa under construction. The Sharjah Misdemeanour Court reviewed police reports and witness statements before reaching this decision.

## Incident Details

The theft was reported by the villa's owner, also an Arab national, when several AC units went missing from his property. Police investigations quickly led to the identification and arrest of the first suspect. A second suspect, involved in the crime, remains at large.

## Trial and Testimony

During the trial, the first suspect denied the charges, claiming he was unaware the units were stolen. He stated that he was contacted by the second suspect to assist in moving the units, believing it was a legitimate job opportunity.

## Legal Proceedings

The court concluded that deportation was a more suitable punishment than imprisonment. Meanwhile, the second suspect has been convicted in absentia, with efforts ongoing to locate him.
