And finally… you’ve been framed

A man accused of stealing CCTV cameras was arrested after he was caught on video, police in Louisville, Kentucky have said.

Thomas Stillwell, 35, was arrested after he was recorded ripping security cameras from a laundromat’s ceiling.

Mr Stillwell allegedly managed to remove three cameras and one decoy camera without the use of any tools.

Laundromat manager Micah Reed afterwards told local news outlets the cameras had been both a failure and a success.

He said: “Failure in the sense our cameras are gone. But, a success in the sense that hopefully there is some justice that comes from it.”

Security at the premises has since been beefed up.
