What a fool!
A suspected crook has been accused of committing an all-night crime spree at a Polish shopping center — after pretending to be a mannequin to get locked up.
The 22-year-old suspect faces up to 10 years in prison for allegedly “hunting” through a Warsaw shopping center after everyone had gone for the night, stealing jewelery and clothes and treating himself to two restaurant meals.
Police released a photo they said showed the suspect earlier “with a bag in his hand frozen motionless, pretending to be a mannequin in front of a shop window.”
“This way, he wants to avoid being exposed by the cameras.”
After the mall closed, the crafty crook ransacked the jewelry store and changed out of the clothes he was wearing after crawling under the partially closed cover of another store, police said.
He also had at least two meals throughout the night, according to police.

But the suspect’s luck ended when a security guard spotted him and called the police.
The same man is also accused of robbing another mall, where police say he stole money from a cash register and tried to grab other items from the store after closing time.
