China's dumbest robbers: criminal left unconscious

Shanghai police have released video of a comical attempted robbery in the Chinese city.

Two burglars approach a store attempting to smash a window with what appear to be bricks.

“If all burglars were like this,” wrote the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.

“We wouldn’t need to work overtime.”

The CCTV vision shows one attempt to smash the window wrong when a would-be thief mistimes their throw connecting with the other criminal instead of the window.

The injured robber appears unconscious and is dragged back to a waiting car.
