In Poland, a resourceful man pretended to be a mannequin to rob a shopping center (3 photos)
As it turned out, he did this more than once.
The police detained a 22-year-old thief who was robbing large shopping centers by pretending to be a mannequin in the window, reports the portal Fakt. The police said that the man stood motionless in the window with a purse in his hand and waited for sellers and buyers to leave the shopping center building. When the shopping center closed, the guy calmly went for a walk around it.
He looked in the jewelry department, then he grabbed a bite to eat at a bar before dressing up in a designer clothing store and stealing the proceeds from the cash register. The thief was spotted by security guards on CCTV footage.
The man was charged with theft and burglary. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
He had previously been caught in a botched theft. The man then took cash from several cash registers and attempted to steal items from another mall after closing.
