A 43-year-old dental clinic worker has been given a suspended three-month prison sentence for stealing a laser machine, worth Dh55,000, from her employee.
JM, from the Philippines, worked at the Dental Centre in Dubai when the machine went missing in June this year.
Police were told they suspected JM had taken it because she was the last person to leave the clinic that night.
She initially denied the theft, but later confessed to putting the device in her handbag and leaving the clinic.

How Islam's view of posthumous transplant surgery changed
Transplants from the deceased have been carried out in hospitals across the globe for decades, but in some countries in the Middle East, including the UAE, the practise was banned until relatively recently.
Opinion has been divided as to whether organ donations from a deceased person is permissible in Islam.
The body is viewed as sacred, during and after death, thus prohibiting cremation and tattoos.
One school of thought viewed the removal of organs after death as equally impermissible.
That view has largely changed, and among scholars and indeed many in society, to be seen as permissible to save another life.
