A man in the Polish capital Warsaw was arrested after he pretended to be a mannequin in a shop window in order to steal jewellery, BBC<\/a><\/em> reported. In photos released by the Warsaw police, the 22-year-old man was seen standing behind the storefront window, holding a bag. Surprisingly, both staff and shoppers failed to notice anything suspicious as the man blended in with the mannequins in the window.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to the police, the suspect roamed through different departments after closing, ultimately targeting a jewelry stand.\u00a0\u00a0”With a bag in his hand, he stood still in front of a shop window, pretending to be a display mannequin. When he felt safe, he went hunting and robbed the island of jewelry,”\u00a0police in the central Warsaw district of Srodmiescie said in a statement.\u00a0 However, he\u00a0was eventually spotted by security staff.<\/p>\n He is also accused of stealing items from another shopping mall.<\/p>\n ”However, his luck finally ran out on him as he was spotted and captured by security personnel who called the police.\u00a0It is already known that the 22-year-old has also committed thefts and burglaries in another gallery, where, after its closure, he took money from several cash registers and tried to steal other items,” the police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n The man has been remanded in custody for three months and could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted, as per the Guardian.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n In another similar incident, police say he dined late at a restaurant in a second shopping center and waited for it to close. He\u00a0entered a clothing store and ”exchanged his clothes for new ones”, before returning to the restaurant for another meal. However, he was caught on CCT V slipping under the clothing store’s partially open shutters.<\/p>\n Social media users were amused by the stunt and posted hilarious comments. ”One user wrote, ”Well he wood be. Wooden he,” while another commented, ”This is hilarious.” A third said, ”Question: what’s the most Polish burglary you’ve ever heard? Answer:\u00a0A man has been accused of posing as a mannequin in a Warsaw shop window to steal jewellery after closing time.”<\/p>\n A fourth added, ”Crime is bad, obviously, but you have to give this guy some credit for creativity and balls.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
