'Mannequin' arrested after Warsaw shop burglary

A man has been accused of posing as a mannequin in a Warsaw shop window to steal jewellery after closing time.

The 22-year-old was pictured standing still and holding a bag in a window of the store, which police have not named.

Police said the accused went "hunting" in various departments after closing, before settling on a jewellery stand.

Warsaw Police said that staff and shoppers failed to notice anything unusual as the man stood in the window, and blended in with several mannequins.
