Mexican four-year-old bandit caught on camera
A four-year-old boy has been caught on camera stealing jewels from a display cabinet.
The boy stole the items as his mother distracted the staff at a jewellery store in the Mexican city of Oaxaca.
The mother and son's cunning heist is nearly ruined when the boy falls over, but the woman helps him up and his stash stays hidden.
A few seconds later he snatches some more jewellery from a display cabinet at the front of the store.
The woman then tells shop workers her car is illegally parked, and the thrifty pair quickly leave hand in hand.
Twenty minutes after their departure, staff noticed around £250 ($400) worth of merchandise missing.
Saleswoman Ana Lilia Hernandez said they did not suspect the pair until the store owner saw the theft on the store's security video.
She said: "We never suspected the boy and the lady, because the lady came with a boy who was a bit naughty but that's it.
"He was walking back and forth but we never suspected it was that customer."
The store owner has reported the crime but police have yet to make an arrest in the case.
