Texas Police Can’t Stop Laughing at Suspect’s Terrible Hiding Skills
Whoever is running the social media page of the Aransas Pass Police Department is doing a really good job! This one should be filed under the "True Crime Report" as well as under "dumb criminals".
Police in Aransas Pass are getting a kick out of this suspect's terrible hiding skills. Apparently, this suspect decided that hiding in a field was a good idea- which, actually, I won't fault him on that, a field is a good hiding spot.
However, the problem came when somewhere between the chase and finding his hiding spot in the field, when the suspect decided to get a road crew vest. It didn't fare well for him and the Aransas Pass police decided to share it for all to laugh.
The police captioned the video:
NOTE TO THIEVES: Might be wise not to dress like a road crew worker while running from the police in a stolen car and then trying to hide in heavy brush.
They also added the following hashtags, which I think is my favorite part of the post:
- #WheresWaldo
- #FindingThievo
- #OurEyeInTheSkySeesYou
- #BrightOrangeAndReflective
- #ThankYouForMakingItEasyForUs
- #101HowToGetCaughtQuicklyByThePolice
- #MostOfAllHappyForTheSafeEnding
"Thank you for making it easy for us" is probably the best part.
There's no word on where the suspect, who allegedly stole a car, ended up dumping the car, but judging by one of the hashtags, alls well that ends well!
I think we all learned a valuable lesson here, if you're going to steal a car, don't also steal a road crews vest, because those are bright and reflective and will give you away in an instant!
