Sharjah Court Jails Man for Breaking into Home and Attempting Theft

Sharjah Misdemeanours Court has sentenced a man to two months in jail followed by deportation after convicting him of breaking into a house and attempting to steal valuables.

The ruling came after evidence presented before the court, including surveillance footage, established that the accused had entered the residence and attempted to take belongings. The suspect also admitted to the charges during court proceedings.

The incident occurred when a resident reported that he had left his home with his family without locking the door. Shortly afterwards, he returned briefly to use the restroom and found an unknown person inside the apartment.

The homeowner confronted the intruder and searched him, but found no stolen items in his possession.

Police investigations later revealed, after examining security camera recordings, that the suspect had entered the apartment by taking advantage of the unlocked door. The footage showed him taking a mobile phone belonging to the resident before returning it to its original place after realising that the homeowner was present.

During the trial, the court questioned the accused over the charges. He confessed to entering the property and attempting to commit theft, leading the court to issue the conviction and sentence.
