Man sentenced for burglary after posing as a mannequin to break into store at night.
As the sun set and the lights went out at the Westfield shopping centre in Warsaw, Poland, the staff locked up for the night without noticing Wojciech G. little did they know, this seemingly harmless man was actually a cunning burglar, ready to make his move once the coast was clear. Wojciech had a clever plan up his sleeve - he would disguise himself as a mannequin, blending in with the displays and remaining undetected by the unsuspecting workers.

For hours, the 22-year-old stood still, holding up a handbag as if he were a lifeless mannequin. As the night wore on, the staff went home, completely unaware of the threat lurking among the mannequins. With the coast now clear, Wojciech sprang into action, moving from store to store and stealing whatever he could get his hands on - jewelry, cash, and clothes were all fair game.

However, Wojciech's plan wasn't foolproof. He still had to evade the security guards who roamed the mall, keeping a watchful eye on any suspicious activity. CCTV footage captured him jumping over a sandwich shop counter and ducking down as a guard walked by. Later, he could be seen hiding under a tarpaulin at a bar, where he had stolen alcohol and more cash. He even managed to sneak into a clothing store and change his outfit completely.

Not content with just stealing material possessions, Wojciech also helped himself to some food at one of the mall's restaurants. But his greed would ultimately be his downfall. As he went back for a second meal, one of the guards caught him red-handed. The 22-year-old was arrested and charged with burglary and theft. However, even after being released on bail, Wojciech couldn't resist the temptation to try his trick again.

In the end, Wojciech was sentenced to 16 months in jail by the Warsaw District Court. His clever plan may have fooled the staff at the Westfield shopping centre, but it couldn't outsmart the law. As for the mall, it remained one of the biggest shopping centres in Europe, with security measures in place to prevent any future attempts at robbery.
