The one thing crime movies or shows always teach you is that once you’ve committed a crime, the best course of action is to evacuate the scene of the crime before you leave any evidence behind or are seen by a witness (this isn’t a lesson on how to be a criminal).
But one man in Petaling Jaya decided to completely bypass that rule by attempting to rob an entire neighbourhood in one night. Well, 7 houses in a neighbourhood to be exact.
Arief Danial (@AriefDanial_) took to his Twitter account to showcase CCTV footage of the thief.

In the CCTV footage, the thief can be seen climbing the wall of Arief’s house before hopping into the compound. Then, the thief puts on Arief’s hat that he found somewhere around the porch as he tries to open the car doors.
And it was at that point, he realised…
There was a CCTV camera on him.
But instead of fleeing the scene in general, the thief then proceeded to break into Arief’s neighbour’s house.
That night, the same thief broke into 5 other houses, possibly more.
But the good thing is that there’s now a somewhat clear view of his face to help our police force find him, thanks to Arief’s CCTV camera!
We hope the authorities find and catch the thief before he breaks into more houses or commits worse crimes.
Arief’s posting has since garnered over 6,700 retweets.
Who knows, maybe his goal is to break into all the houses in one neighbourhood.
