A hapless thief was caught red-handed when he attempted to sell a Robin Hood film and Blu-ray player back to the man he stole them from.

Daniel Ciamara, 24, from Blackburn, stole the items along with other action films from a computer shop.

He eventually returned, goods in hand, back to the store owned by David Harrison and offered them for sale, the Daily Mirror reports.

It was when Mr Harrison began flicking through each film that he realised something was wrong and seeing unopened copies of Robin Hood and Sucker Punch he immediately knew they were his.


He told Ciamara to return in half an hour so he could give the Blu-ray player a test run and called the police.

Ciamara has admitted burglary and has been bailed until sentencing at Preston crown court.
