An Asian man has been sentenced to three months in jail for stealing QR10,600 from the wallet of another expatriate.

A Doha Criminal Court has also ordered his subsequent deportation, according to local Arabic daily Arrayah.

The two men had met by chance at Doha's Souq Haraj while the defendant was looking for a room to rent. The victim invited defendant to stay with him in his accommodation in Najma.

The accused stole the money while the victim had gone to the toilet one night, leaving the wallet behind, according to the daily.

When the victim returned, he discovered that the said sum of money was missing along with the defendant. He immediately reported the matter to the police and the accused was subsequently arrested.

The defendant admitted to being involved in the offence during interrogation.
