A Guy Uses a Fishing Pole to Steal a Versace Necklace Off a Mannequin

Well, we'll give this guy some credit . . . this is definitely creative.

 

 

The police in Melbourne, Australia just released security footage of a burglary that happened a few weeks ago.

 

 

A guy went to a high-end fashion store at 2:00 A.M., then used a FISHING POLE to reach into the display and snatch a VERSACE NECKLACE off a mannequin's neck.

 

 

The whole process took him THREE HOURS of trying . . . which included him swapping his shorter fishing pole for a longer one.  Somehow, no one passed by or caught him during that entire time.

 

 

The police have released the footage for help tracking him down.  They described him as 40 to 50 years old, white, about 5-foot-10, with a receding hairline.
