DUBAI // A taxi driver stole Dh7,000 worth of a passenger’s goods, a court heard.
Pakistani driver W A, 26, drove off with her bag containing a laptop, smartphone and her passport, among other items, after she had asked him to wait for her.
Uzbeki A A, 39, took a taxi from the Royal Falcon Hotel in Dubai on October 28.
“I kept my laptop next to me and on the way I asked the driver to stop near a supermarket,” she said.
She wrote down the taxi’s plate number as she walked towards the supermarket in Al Baraha. But when she returned five minutes later, the driver had fled.
