Qatar CID arrested an Iranian visitor to the country who was stealing money from the vehicles of people visiting an exchange house in Doha.

The man, who was on a visit visa, used to hang around the exchange house looking out for customers who leave cash in their vehicles at the parking area. He would then break the front glass of the vehicle and steal the money.

The police was informed after theft cases became frequent. In a trap to catch the thief red-handed, an undercover police officer posing as a customer put a bag of cash in his vehicle.

The thief as usual broke into the car and started to flee with the cash, only to be surrounded by the police.

The man has been referred to Public Prosecution. During the investigation, he admitted to his crime. He is now under trial at the Doha criminal court. [Gulf Times]
