Police in Abu Dhabi have arrested the main suspect in an AED14 million (BD1.44 million) gold jewellery fraud after he allegedly posed as a representative of prominent businessmen to obtain valuables without paying for them.
According to case details, the man allegedly acquired the gold jewellery from a shop in Abu Dhabi six months ago, promising to settle the payment at a later date.
The case came to light after the shop owner filed a complaint, and police arrested the suspect just hours later at a house in the emirate.
Officers found several boxes containing part of the stolen jewellery, along with invoices and documents linked to the fraud.
During questioning, the suspect admitted to selling the remaining pieces.
