An amusing video has emerged from China of an alleged thief using an umbrella and a white sheet to cloak his identity while he attempts to steal cigarettes from a shop.
The CCTV footage, captured in Liaoyang, Liaoning Province last Tuesday, shows the individual walking slowly through the shop with the sheet hanging from an umbrella to completely obscure his identity from the security cameras.
According to local reports, around £1000 GBP worth of cigarettes were taken during the robbery.
The shopkeeper reported the incident to police but the suspect is believed to be still at large.
