Two inept robbers broke into a building in southern India on October 2 looking to rob the place, but were almost immediately caught on camera. <br /><br />As they entered the building, a vocational training centre for women in Thalakudi near Trichy, they were taken aback to see a CCTV camera in the main training room, which had sewing machines. <br /><br />They rushed to an adjoining room to dodge the camera. One of them, who seemed to have developed cold feet, played it safe and stayed put. <br /><br />But his partner in crime, who was more enterprising, entered the training room using a trash bin to conceal his face from the CCTV camera. He was filmed rummaging through the facility to find valuables.<br /><br />Police said they had clues about the two men and are looking for them. <br /><br />“They were not very smart. The guy using the trash bin to cover his face even peeped at the CCTV camera revealing his face,” said an officer.<br /><br />For all their hard work the two thieves reportedly managed to find a paltry Rs 2,500 (£27 GBP) as the sewing machines were too heavy to carry.
