Doha: The court of first instance punished a carpenter who committed the crime of intentionally damaging an ATM inside a bank with imprisonment and deportation.
The Public Prosecution had accused a person of destroying an ATM, during maintenance work inside the bank’s building.
The police searched the place and the surveillance cameras revealed that a person wearing a mask, gloves and sunglasses entered the bank and went to the ATM with a hammer and nail in his hand to damage the ATM machine.
During the time the man entered the place, there was ongoing maintenance work, so the police recognised him through surveillance cameras and summoned him for questioning. His room was searched and the police found gloves, sunglasses, a hammer and the bag in which all these things were hidden.
It was later revealed that the accused was a carpenter, and he was arrested when he tried to flee.
The ATM guard stated in his testimony before the court that a person entered the ATM inside the bank at dawn, he thought that he wanted to withdraw cash, and after 3 minutes he heard a loud banging sound on the glass separating the machine from the bank building and reported to the police.
The Peninsula newspaper translates and posts this kind of legal cases from the courts to raise awareness about the dangers of violating laws or infringing on others in the country.
