Tats him - Dumb criminal nicked by tattoo
A bungling criminal was arrested after he showed off an incriminating tattoo to a CCTV camera as he nicked a sat-nav from a car.
The tattoo, which he pointed right at the camera, even included his name and date of birth ... presumably he didn't have a business card to leave for them.
Aaron Evans, 21, was yesterday sentenced at Bristol Magistrates Court to 28 weeks imprisonment after the court heard how he broke into the covert police 'honeytrap' car which was fitted with hidden cameras.
The camera got a clear view of Evans' neck which showed the detailed tattoo and police had an even easier time finding him than the would have expected.
Now the only people reading his tattoos will be his new 'friends' in the prison showers.
Superintendent Ian Wylie, Bristol District, said: "We get such excellent images from these cameras that there is often, and never more so than in this case, no doubt who the criminal is and what they are doing.
"When faced with such evidence, there is no other way to go than 'guilty'.
"The photographs don't just lead us to the person breaking into the car either. Further police work has also led us on many occasions to the handlers of the stolen property and people the car criminal is working with."
