A Doha Criminal Court has sentenced two Sri Lankan men to one year in jail and subsequent deportation for stealing diesel fuel owned by a company.

Local Arabic daily Arrayah reported Tuesday that the two defendants drove at night a vehicle owned by one of them to a site of the company concerned and stole diesel from some heavy equipment.

The duo were spotted by the security guards when they tried to repeat the theft another night. Accordingly, police was called in and the men arrested. During interrogation, they confessed their guilt and the court convicted them.
