ABU DHABI // Abu Dhabi Police arrested a man who they say was caught trying to break into a vehicle in the industrial area of Al Ain.
The arrest came after police formed an investigation team following several theft reports. Patrols in the area arrested the 25-year-old suspect, who is from an unspecified Asian country.
Police said the suspect confessed to stealing items in about 15 vehicles, and found the items during a search of his home.
Police asked the public to immediately report thefts and to ensure that their vehicles are locked and have no valuables left inside.

What is Diwali?
The Hindu festival is at once a celebration of the autumn harvest and the triumph of good over evil, as outlined in the Ramayana.
According to the Sanskrit epic, penned by the sage Valmiki, Diwali marks the time that the exiled king Rama – a mortal with superhuman powers – returned home to the city of Ayodhya with his wife Sita and brother Lakshman, after vanquishing the 10-headed demon Ravana and conquering his kingdom of Lanka. The people of Ayodhya are believed to have lit thousands of earthen lamps to illuminate the city and to guide the royal family home.
In its current iteration, Diwali is celebrated with a puja to welcome the goodness of prosperity Lakshmi (an incarnation of Sita) into the home, which is decorated with diyas (oil lamps) or fairy lights and rangoli designs with coloured powder. Fireworks light up the sky in some parts of the word, and sweetmeats are made (or bought) by most households. It is customary to get new clothes stitched, and visit friends and family to exchange gifts and greetings.
