Poland arrests thief posing as store mannequin
Charged with theft and burglary, the man faces 10 years in prison.
After entering a clothing store, the man "put on a new outfit, then stood still in the window like a mannequin in order to fool security guards and surveillance cameras," said Robert Szumiata, a spokesman for Warsaw police.
After closing time, the man slipped out and managed to swipe jewellery from a stand at the shopping centre before being apprehended.
"We'd never seen anything like it," Szumiata told AFP. Charged with theft and burglary, the man faces 10 years in prison.
