CCTV thief caught on film stealing camera

Footage of a clueless thief who was captured on CCTV as he was stealing the camera that was recording him has been released.

Although he made off with the equipment the pictures were being sent back to a security control room.



The man, who has no front teeth, climbed a wall at Trafford retail park in Manchester and spent around a minute removing the £1,000 camera.

In the footage, he can then be seen being helped down by an accomplice who was waiting with a supermarket trolley to transport their haul.



Despite the clear images neither man involved in the late night raid has been traced - and it is now just over a year since the camera was stolen.

The owners have now released the footage in the hope someone might recognise either of the men involved. A spokesman for Peel said: "The police have so far had no luck in tracing him. Someone must know this man, he's quite distinctive."
