Surveillance footage captured the moment a 22-year-old thief stood motionless in a Polish department store posing as a mannequin, waiting to steal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holding his pose until closing time, the man then sprung back to life, bag at the ready, and allegedly proceeded to burgle a Warsaw jewellery store.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘When he felt safe, he went hunting and robbed the island of jewellery’,\u00a0assistant inspector Robert Szumiata from the \u015ar\u00f3dmie\u015bcie District Police Headquarters said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was not the first instance the man had allegedly stolen from the department store.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Szumiata said on another occasion the man allegedly again waited for closing before\u00a0grabbing a bite to eat at a nearby bar. He then maneuvered his way into a another store under a steel curtain and allegedly grabbed some designer clothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
