The Dubai Criminal Court sentenced three Chinese nationals to three months each in jail followed by deportation for theft.
The men had used hammers and screw drivers to break into houses in the Eyal Nasser area.
The three men -- YTL, 31, KL, 24, and ZAW, 50 -- were arrested on December 17 following a complaint made by Kinjlo Zahao whose house was burgled.
While the mastermind of the crimes they committed is still at large, the men confessed on the break-ins.
While the first two entered the houses targetted, ZAW kept guard watching for anyone coming in.
