I don’t even know how to start this one as my mind is racing wondering…why…how…what…why would he even?? *insert face palm emoji* I think we have just found the dumbest thief ever!
The Robbery
A security company in Zimbabwe, Fawcett was carrying out its usual day to day work. One of these jobs include safely transporting large sums of money to safes. This money usually comes from large business like grocery stores etc.
On the 25th of November some security guards with US$335 000 in transit claimed to have been robbed at a fake police roadblock. This robbery turned out to have been an inside job after one of the guards’ wives was allegedly found with US$18 000 cash of the stolen money.
Long story short, the guards were arrested and the criminals they are said to have been conniving with are said to be on the run. Security companies have since been encouraged to put in place rigorous measures to ensure that their client’s money would be safe in the hands of their employees.
Now onto the interesting part…
The Dumb “Thief” (allegedly)
Not long after the guards were “robbed at gunpoint,” these are the images that are said to have emerged on one of the men’s Whatsapp status:
Ermmm, why would he do that? I mean, I don’t condone stealing or anything like that…but, really??
More details on this are yet to be verified.
Anyways, modern day thieves are really taking this to a whole new level. We previously shared the story that took place in South Africa when a few individuals managed to steal railway tracks. Yes, you heard that right!…Railway track!
