Pólice recently caught three elderly burglars who loved designer brands atthe scene of the crime. The gang, who were aged 55,70 and 78, had managed to enter an expensive clothing store in Rome illegally. They were very noisy, so neighbours called the pólice. With no time to escape, the burglars tried to hide themselves. When the pólice officers arrived, they found three nicely dressed, elderly 'shop models' which appeared to be breathing and shaking!

Many prívate detectives spend their time investigating people who pretend to be ill so they can get governmentfinancial help. But one US fraudster was so stupid that no detective was necessary. For eighteen years, one man from Utah, USA, had received money from the government because he had told them he was too ¡II to work. The truth was revealed when he uploaded videos online which showed him dancing energetically, playing air guitar and riding a scooter!

When pólice officers who were investigating a smuggling case at a port in Norway found a young passenger whose suitcase contained a live tarántula spider, they were immediately suspicious. They couldn't help noticing that the young man's clothes also seemed to be moving strangely. They quickly took him to a room, where they discovered he had attached fourteen bags of baby snakes to his body under his shirt!
