Lankan confesses to stealing laptops from Royal Court office

A cleaner from Sri Lanka stole four laptops from his workplace in the Royal Court’s engineering office and attempted to steal 18 more, a Dubai court heard this morning.

The Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance was told that AD, 20, took the computers sometime before July 21 and later tried to take more, but was caught hiding them in the false ceiling.

The Emirati security head at the office, MM, 38, said he was informed that 22 HP and Toshiba laptops went missing from the office during AD’s shift.

A Dubai police sergeant testified that AD confessed to the theft and said he took two of the stolen laptops to his house and two to a computer shop for reprogramming. The rest were hidden in the ceiling, he said.

He confessed in court today and awaits a verdict on November 22, reported The National.

A senior official from the CBSL told AdaderanaBiz, “We were to first introduce PayPal through the Sampath Bank. However, we now plan to introduce this service to the country through four banks. We also plan to gradually involve the rest of the banks in the country.” While the CBSL is discussing with the PayPal branch in India to introduce the service to Sri Lanka, PayPal’s Indian arm has reportedly requested a report on Sri Lanka’s exports. The senior CBSL official told AdaderanaBiz that they would be submitting such a report and hence the introduction of PayPal to Sri Lanka would face a slight delay.
