The High Appeals Court upheld the jail sentence issued against a young Bahraini man for stealing two mobile phones worth BD800. The defendant was arrested following thorough investigations.

According to court files, the defendant contacted a phone shop and placed an order for purchasing two phones.

He told the shop’s employees that he would pay through Benefit Pay. “I delivered the order to him and he said that he would pay shortly. I left, expecting that he would pay using the agreed method,” the delivery man who gave the defendant the phones told prosecutors.

The young Bahraini man reportedly switched his phone off as soon as he received the phones, while the shop made various attempts to reach him.
