Fujairah: Police have referred an Emirati man to the public prosecution after he was caught on camera stealing a parrot from his compatriot friend’s house in Al Fasel area in Fujairah, an official told Gulf News.
The parrot is valued Dh12,000, the official said.
The official said the two Emirati friends were involved in a dispute and the suspect stole the parrot as a form of revenge. The suspect is identified as A.E.A., aged 26.
The incident was discovered when the owner of the parrot, R.M.H., aged 26, woke up [the day after the dispute] to find the parrot missing from the cage.
