An alleged professional burglar in Bangladesh brought a premature end to his career when he called the police and reported his own crime after an angry mob caught him in the act.
Yasin Khan, 40, broke into a closed grocery store in southern Barisal city early on Wednesday morning to steal goods from the shelves, local police chief Asad uz Zaman said.
"When he finished the job and was about to go out, Khan realised it was not dark anymore and people woke up and started coming to the market," Zaman told AFP Friday.
With an angry crowd gathered, and fearing a violent attack, Khan called the police emergency line to plead for a rescue.
