A man has been arrested for stealing from a local shopping center after it was closed, police in the Polish capital, Warsaw, have said.
Before the robbery, the man stood outside a shop window and posed as a dummy used to display clothes.
In the CCTV, a 22-year-old man is seen standing still in the store window holding a bag.
Polish police say that when the man was standing in the window, staff and shoppers did not see anything out of the ordinary.
The police said in a statement that the 22-year-old youth, who had a bag in his hand, pretended to be a dummy and stood motionless in front of the shop window. Thus, they wanted to avoid the cameras so that their true nature would not come out.’
