In the surveillance footage above, a fellow is seen using a fishing rod to snatch a designer necklace from a mannequin’s neck inside a Melbourne, Australia shop. Police are asking for help identifying the suspect. From CNN:
Authorities believe the man made a hole in the storefront glass window, then slid the fishing rod through the hole into the store to lift the necklace from the mannequin inside, according to CNN affiliate Nine News.
“It appears that the burglar was fishing for about three hours before landing his catch,” said police in the statement.
