When he reached the flat, the women confined him and threatened him with a knife. They forced him to reveal all his banking details and made him transfer money from his bank account to other accounts using his online banking app.

One of the defendants also withdrew Dh30,000 from his account using the ATM card. They also took the money he had in his purse and stole his smart phone, which is worth around Dh3800.
