The Dubai Criminal Court has sentenced a gang of three Asians to one year in jail to be followed by deportation after they were convicted of attempting to rob an ATM inside a store.

The case dates back to last March when a salesman filed a complaint that the store he was working for had been robbed.

According to his testimony, he was left shocked when he found that the outer door of the store had been destroyed and that the ATM inside the store damaged.

He notified the police accordingly.

According to the testimony of a policeman during public prosecution’s investigations, the detective team had checked the surveillance cameras, which had exposed the gang members.

They were identified and later arrested. The defendants confessed to the charges levelled against them.
