Man who rode out of shopping mall on Pooh bear-type children's car finally arrested - Update

A man has finally been arrested for stealing a Winnie the Pooh bear-type toy car from a shopping mall in Belarus. CCTV of the incident was released by police several days after the crime was committed on 6 May.



The footage shows a man walking around the mall and taking a seat on the toy car while talking on his phone. The man then edges it towards the exit doors.

He is then seen slowly but surely manoeuvring the toy car across the shopping mall's car park. Police in the capital Minsk made a public appeal for anyone who recognised the man to come forward.

They also promised confidentiality to those who could help identify the thief. A labourer has now confessed to the crime, saying he was drunk and did not remember where he abandoned the toy car that night. It has yet to be found.
