Mugger Admired Own Reflection … on a CCTV Camera Lens!

Posted by Alex in Crime & Law on June 12, 2008 at 3:26 am


Talkin’ bout stupid criminals, check out this mugger in Bromley, London, who actually tried on the stolen necklace and admired his reflection … on the tram’s CCTV lens!

Dc Dan Arundell, of British Transport Police’s robbery squad, said: "The CCTV images are very clear.

"It was quite clear that he was checking himself out in the reflection of the CCTV camera.

"The general consensus is that he is not the brightest spark. He was there for a long time and either didn’t care or wasn’t aware he was being filmed."

    He’s been caught, as of Friday 13th, after this picture was shown in London’s Evening Standard.

    Actually, Cheeseduck, he’d only be considered a nominee since he didn’t off himself with his immense stupidity. Would’ve been funny to see how it would happen: While he’s basking in he own innate coolness in the CCTV window, the bus he’s on suddenly stops and he cracks his head on the seat. Bam. Instant Darwin Award. XD
