The Doha Criminal Court has sentenced a man to seven years in jail for illegally breaking into a house and stealing QR5m worth of jewelry and watches.

The defendant broke into the house of the victim at night, cracked open a safe and got away with the stolen property. The victim filed a case and demanded a compensation of QR10m for the damage he suffered during the theft.

The defendant was arrested at the airport while trying to enter the country with some of the stolen jewelry.

An investigation found that the man had previously also been convicted.

Looks like it Brit, very confusing.

" The victim filed a case and demanded a compensation of QR10m for the damage he suffered during the theft."

Really? So he caused QR5m damage?. I'm sure replacing the broken window/door and safe should cost much less.

All very confusing for a layman like me ..

"The defendant was arrested at the airport while trying to enter the country with some of the stolen jewelry." - So he committed the robbery, left the country, then tried to come back with some stolen items and was arrested ?
