Mall workers hand in missing millions

HONEST WORK: A cleaner and security guard handed police a bag containing more than two million dirhams found in the Ajman City Centre.

Two mall workers have been lauded by their employers after handing in a bag containing 2.1 million dirhams ($572,000) they found in Ajman City Centre.

Twenty-one-year old cleaner Reddolla Das came across the bag, containing 400,000 dirhams in cash and 1,700,000 in blank cheques, while cleaning tables at the mall’s food court on April 16.

Das duly turned it over to security guard Hamid Raza Abbasi who handed it to police, and it was later returned to its owner, a Pakistani national.

Ajman City Centre said it was “incredibly proud and grateful” for the honesty shown by the two men, who were rewarded with 1,500 in vouchers. “The amount discovered it huge, and some people might have been tempted by this,” said general manager Jassim Al Khaja.
