A quick-thinking policeman caught a stupid robber – by calling him on the mobile he had just stolen.
Detective Sergeant Dave Keegan pretended to be a friend of dozy Christopher Croston and talked him into the arms of waiting officers with a series of calls.
Det Sgt Keegan knew he had got his man when Croston started their final conversation: "Hiya mate. I can’t talk right now. I’m with the bizzies."
He is now serving six-and-a-half years in jail for robbery, while Det Sgt Keegan has been given a commendation by his chief constable.
