SHARJAH // Two men have been arrested for stealing building materials from under-construction villas.
The men, one of whom is a Pakistani driver, allegedly stole electrical equipment and construction materials from villas in Al Suyoh, Sharjah.
Sharjah Police had received several reports of thefts and launched an investigation as well as increasing police patrols in the area.
One patrol stopped a lorry driven by the Pakistani man, who acted suspiciously when he was asked about the load he was carrying. The driver and passenger were taken in for questioning and police said they confessed to stealing construction materials from several villas in the area.
The pair have been referred to prosecutors to face trial.
Police urged construction companies to secure their working sites and hire secure teams to deter criminals from stealing.

WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE?
1. Black holes are objects whose gravity is so strong not even light can escape their pull
2. They can be created when massive stars collapse under their own weight
3. Large black holes can also be formed when smaller ones collide and merge
4. The biggest black holes lurk at the centre of many galaxies, including our own
5. Astronomers believe that when the universe was very young, black holes affected how galaxies formed

Three ways to boost your credit score
Marwan Lutfi says the core fundamentals that drive better payment behaviour and can improve your credit score are:
1. Make sure you make your payments on time;
2. Limit the number of products you borrow on: the more loans and credit cards you have, the more it will affect your credit score;
3. Don't max out all your debts: how much you maximise those credit facilities will have an impact. If you have five credit cards and utilise 90 per cent of that credit, it will negatively affect your score.
