An Asian man who tried to steal a central air conditioner from a villa has been caught. He will spend three months in jail and will be deported. The man worked with five accomplices who are currently at large. In July, an Al Muteena resident witnessed people break into a villa near his home. He said that he saw six people watching a villa, and then one of them cut through a metal chain to get in. He said he kept watching the suspects until they entered the villa and then waited for them at the door. As soon as they saw the neighbor at the door, they dropped the air conditioner and ran away. The witness was able to catch one of the suspects and informed the police right away. BKM/ Expat Media
