Abu Dhabi: Two Indian women are facing trial in the Dubai Criminal Court on charges of shop-lifting from a garment shop, a media report said.

Last month, the women, aged 20 and 25, allegedly entered the fitting room of the shop in Dubai and stole 10 pieces of garments after removing the security tags and hiding the clothes in their handbags, Emirates 24|7 news reported on Sunday.

They were presented in court on Saturday.

A salesman noticed two customers roaming around the store and picking up some clothes. Then the duo went to the fitting room.
