The Failed Heist
The would-be criminal targeted a high-street jewellery store, smashing his way inside in the early hours. However, his plan quickly unravelled when he overlooked a crucial detail—leaving behind a key piece of evidence that police used to track him down within hours.
The Fatal Mistake
In his haste, the thief accidentally dropped his mobile phone at the scene. Detectives traced the device straight to his doorstep, leading to his arrest before he could even offload the stolen goods.

Social media users were quick to mock the blunder, with many dubbing it "the worst getaway attempt ever." One commenter joked, "Maybe crime isn’t his calling."
Police have since issued a reminder to would-be criminals: "Leave your phone at home—or better yet, don’t commit crimes in the first place."
