Dumb Oz bakery robber traps himself in locked storeroom
February 1st, 2011 - 5:45 pm ICT by ANIMelbourne, Feb 1 (ANI): A bumbling would-be robber broke into a bakery in Australia only to find himself trapped in a locked storeroom.
The young man, who broke into a Frankston bakery, was captured on CCTV footage desperately stacking up containers and shelves to climb out of the skylight, from where he had entered the Heatherhill Road building, the Age reported.
In the video he is seen piling containers, chairs, bins, and even brooms, into the corner of the small room, and with each attempt he made at climbing up to the skylight he kept falling back from roof height onto the floor.
Footage of his 30-minute ordeal shows him becoming increasingly anxious as he crashes to the ground on more than five occasions.
The footage also shows him desperately making calls from his mobile phone, presumably asking friends to come and help him escape.
He eventually broke out of the room with a large gash on his head, but only after noticing the security camera and looking directly into the lens and leaving a clear image of himself. (ANI)
