A distinctive shoe print was the key piece of evidence that led the Dubai Police to solve a Dh1 million heist, revealing an unexpected turn of events implicating the firm’s own employees in the crime.
The investigation commenced when a company in Dubai reported a significant loss of Dh1 million from its safe. The case, led by Captain Hamdan Ahli, deployed investigative and forensic teams to unravel the events that transpired. Initial findings uncovered that four employees were assaulted and restrained with plastic handcuffs by the culprits, who had forcibly entered the premises.
Upon closer inspection of the crime scene, the team discovered shoe prints left behind when the accused kicked the door in. The examination of these prints, along with the analysis of the cut plastic handcuffs and the discovery of a hidden pair of scissors, steered the investigators towards a surprising revelation.
The shoe prints matched those of the fourth employee, who, upon confrontation, confessed to being the mastermind behind the heist. This employee had manipulated his colleagues into participating in the theft and had subsequently alerted the police, attempting to divert suspicion away from himself.
The meticulous investigation by Captain Hamdan and his team has successfully unveiled the truth behind the heist, demonstrating the crucial role of forensic evidence in solving crimes and ensuring that justice is served. The implicated employees are expected to face legal proceedings for their actions.
