Attempted burglary ends with accidental brick to the face

Feb. 19 (UPI) — Police in China shared security camera footage of a pair of bungling burglars whose attempt to break into a store went spectacularly wrong.

Shanghai Police posted video to their official account on Weibo showing two men attempting to use bricks to break into a store.

The first suspect’s brick bounces off the glass and his attempt to retrieve it puts him directly in the path of the second man’s brick, which strikes him in the face and knocks him to the ground.

“If all burglars were like this, we wouldn’t need to work overtime,” police wrote.
