Three African men have been sentenced to three years in jail and subsequent deportation by a Doha Criminal Court, local Arabic daily Arrayah reported.

The trio were convicted by the court for attacking a debt collection employee in the Industrial Area, stealing a sum of QR672,600 from him, in addition to a cash counting machine.

The issue started when the victim was doing some work in the Industrial Area collecting money due to his company from some clients.

As he was heading towards his vehicle after collecting cash, two of the defendants approached him and stopped him.

Then, one of them hit him on his head with a piece of iron and the other grabbed from him, the bag of money and a cash counting machine.

Later, the two defendants ran away to the vehicle which was driven by their third accomplice and escaped. When the defendants were arrested by the police, they confessed to their crime during interrogation.
