How thick are these two, apprehended in seconds apparently

A bungling pair of burglars have been cautioned after they tried to break in to a house shared by princes William and Harry.

If you are going to break a couple of traffic laws you might as well do it in style.

A Spanish youth is in a bit of bother with the powers that be after drunkenly snapping himself on his mobile while fishtailing his wheels round a roundabout and jumping a few red lights in the process.
I believe he is pleading not guilty on the grounds he is a premiership footballer and as a result traffic laws shouldn't apply to him. ;)

Not a thief but this criminal was considerate enough to leave his own mugshot for the cops to issue which was nice of him

Police in Warrington are keen to trace a man who placed a small camera in a fitting room at Asda in the Westbrook centre in Warrington on December 19 at around 5pm. The device was placed in the light fitting and was in place for 30 minutes before it was discovered.

Some of our police are even going down to their level now, mind you with stupidity amongst the criminal fraternaty at epidemic proportions it might just be that it's catching

The officers left the house without finding the body, which was under a blanket on a sofa in the room.

To be fair the odour in the house was probably stopping them looking too closely. I'd imagine the house was in a hell of a mess with rotting food lying about and with only a report of someone just not being seen for a while, no proof he was in the house, I can see exactly why this happened.

At least they went back the next day after making further enquiries to make sure he wasn't in hospital or at a family members.

Anyway this is one step up from walking into a Police station and confessing.

If you are going to go on the run don't make a personal challenge to the Police to come and find you.
