As reported by Warsaw police, a 22-year-old committed multiple thefts in Polish capital’s shopping malls. His methods were not typical. One day, he devised a plan to go unnoticed in the building after the stores had closed – he stepped into a store display with a handbag and froze for several minutes, pretending to be a mannequin.
