ID card theft: court rejects appeal
The High Appeals Court rejected a Bahraini man’s appeal against his conviction in a robbery and fraud case. He was sentenced by the High Criminal Court to three years behind bars for leasing a vehicle using an ID card he robbed from a car parked in Juffair. Court documents say he also stole BD1,400 from a wallet in the car.
Incidents leading to the case occurred when the suspect managed to hire a car from a rent-a-car company in the Kingdom and didn’t bother to return it. Failure in returning the car prompted the car company to file a complaint against the holder of the ID card, which was used for renting the car. However, police, who were aware that the ID card was stolen, intensified their investigation.
