poland Thief swallows crazy amount of stolen
goods to avoid prison
A light-fingered thief took extreme action in an attempt
to avoid being put behind bars when he swallowed all
of his ill-gotten gains.
Dariusz Piotrowski was arrested after fleeing a house he
is suspected of burgling in the Polish capital of Warsaw.
The 39-year-old was taken into custody and began
complaining about stomach pains before an X-ray
revealed where he had disposed of all the incriminating
evidence.
He swallowed six watches, a fork, a spoon, cigarette
lighters and other objects before he was picked up by
police.
‘Officers lost sight of him briefly after chasing him, but
then found him hiding in the bushes of a garden of a
nearby house,’ said a police spokesman.
‘It was while he was crouched down in the shrubbery
that he probably took the opportunity to try to mask his
crime by eating the objects he had stolen.’
Piotrowski said his unusual ability to swallow different
objects had helped him throughout his life of crime.
The case featured in a textbook by the Polish
Anaesthetics’ Society.
france Police discover ‘missing’ child only existed
on Facebook
Police searching for a ‘missing’ child discovered the
youngster only ever existed on Facebook.
Detectives thought they were racing against time after
receiving a report that two-year-old Chayson Basinio
had vanished from a supermarket car park.
A kidnapping inquiry was opened and a local lake was
dredged, with police fearing the worst, it was reported.
However, days later – as they prepared to tell the family
to expect the worst – they could find no trace of their
existence in real-life. Despite the ‘Basinio’ family having
full Facebook profiles, they appeared to be completely
imaginary.
French police are now questioning the woman who
made the initial report about the missing child.
Public prosecutor Eric Mazaud said: ‘The inquiry for
kidnapping and sequestration has obviously been
redirected into one of reporting an imaginary crime or
offence.
‘It [the inquiry] was long and complicated but we can
now say that the young Chayson has never existed and
nor have his father or mother.’
