Would-be burglar hit by own rock

Two potential burglars in New Zealand abandoned their smash and grab after one of them was hit in the head with his own rock, say Wellington police.

Two people were caught on camera trying to smash a window of Empire Skate, in Herd Street, Chaffers Marina in the early hours of May 30, said Detective Sergeant Mark Scott.



"We can see from the CCTV images, one of the offenders is seen throwing a rock at the window which then comes down and hits him on the head, at which point they flee the scene."

Despite the incident happening nearly two weeks ago, police hoped a witness would come forward.

If it's wrong to laugh at a miscreant's misfortune, I don't want to be right :)
