A Doha Criminal Court has sentenced a young man to one year in jail for stealing a mobile phone, local Arabic daily Arrayah has reported.
The defendant was accused of snatching the mobile phone from a woman, who was jogging alongside Doha Corniche, and fleeing.
The shocked woman hurried to her vehicle and called her husband from another phone she had. While she was heading home, the defendant followed her, but fled again when he saw her husband waiting by the house door.
The husband called the young man on the stolen phone and talked to him about the incident. But he had already reported the matter to the police who monitored the call, leading to the defendant's arrest and subsequent trial.
