Unnoticed, he carefully swipes the mobile phone.

When he realises he’s succeeded in his quest, he speeds up his pace and darts out the door.

The customer still completely unaware as to what has just happened.

WHEN THIEVES STRIKE

This thief was dressed like a Ninja Turtle when he stole up to $10,000 worth of Lego.
CCTV captured this burglar's panic when he realised he was trapped inside the store he tried to rob.


Umm... what??? This man led police on a two-hour chase before driving straight towards the water in a desperate bid to get away.


A children's charity tin? That's just cruel...


This smooth art thief stole a work from a Surry Hills gallery recently.
