That's a rubbish disguise: Burglar caught after using transparent bin to cover his face in nightclub robbery

Burglar stole goods worth 13,000 Yuan ( around £1,300) in nightclub robbery

He was captured on CCTV but used a bin to cover up his face

Thief was still caught by police - because the bin he used was transparent



There have been robberies throughout history that have stumped police by their cunning and intelligence... but this certainly wasn't one of them.



This burglar attempted to hide his identity by putting a bin over his head as he robbed a nightclub in Yimen County, Yunnan Province, China.

Cunning disguise: A burglar attempted to conceal his identity during a nightclub robbery in China - by placing a transparent bin over his head

But unfortunately for him, the bin was transparent - meaning police could easily make out face from CCTV footage.

The club's manager said: 'He at first turned off the lights at the door and then around an hour later he came to the 2nd floor, but this time he wore himself a trash bin on his head.'



The burglar, who stole goods worth 13,000 Yuan ( around £1,300), was arrested a few days later by police.
