A persistent Afghan thief that has been deported from the United Arab Emirates on six occasions, is yet again facing trial, this time for 18 counts of stealing from cars, according to a local newspaper
The man, who is in his thirties and was only identified as BH, was arrested after authorities noted methods used in the thefts matched patterns used by a convict already on their records, the National reported.
The suspect has shown unexplainable persistence in re-entering the country to carry out his criminal acts
"The suspect has shown unexplainable persistence in re-entering the country to carry out his criminal acts," police lieutenant colonel Ahmed al-Merri was quoted as saying.
He "comes by sea from Iran to neighboring countries and then infiltrates the UAE," said Merri.
UAE authorities had previously jailed BH for seven years and deported him in 1995, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2007, the report said.
