The blind leading the blind here...

How’d he think he’d get away with this?

Northamptonshire Police are currently on the lookout for a shoplifter who stole venetian blind from a Dunelm Mill furniture store.

How do we know the person in question definitely nicked the stole the blind? Well….

What’s that hanging out your coat pal?

It appears the would-be master criminal managed to sneak out of the furniture store with a 7ft long (2.1m) hiding down the back of his coat.

Shoplifting is a crime that requires more guts than sense; to steal successfully you need a good pokerface, a massive amount of brass and a healthy dollop of luck… but this, this takes the piss just a little bit.

So of course, when the police asked for help, people responded by taking the piss back.

A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said: “Officers would like to speak with the man pictured or anyone with information can contact Northamptonshire Police on 101.

“Alternatively, they can call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

Good luck. Once they catch him, it’ll be curtains.

We’ll let ourselves out.
