A man was found with 38 mobile phones stuffed down his trouser legs at a Libertines gig this week.
It seems the man was wily enough to steal nearly 40 phones from gig-goers throughout the evening, but not quite smart enough to realise that walking around with his trouser legs taped at the bottom looked a little suspicious.
When the man was spotted by West Midlands Police, he was found to have put 38 phones down his trousers, and then taped them up at the bottom to stop them from falling out. Another man was also arrested on suspicion of theft.
Anyone who thinks they might have had their phone taken at The Libertines' Birmingham gig on Wednesday (27 January) should contact police.
