NewsThe Dubai Police have recovered a diamond estimated to be worth $20 million (Dh73 million) after a security guard pulled off a near-impossible theft from the vault of the company he worked in. A police team recovered the rare blue diamond from Sri Lanka. After stealing the 9.33-carat diamond, the suspect handed it over to his relative to smuggle it in a shoe by sea. The police arrested the Sri Lankan suspect, who was holed up in a neighbouring emirate after switching off his phone. Despite these security precautions, the suspect managed to enter the vault and carry out the theft.
