‘Dumbest criminal’ caught in South Africa

This one is a real head scratcher. According to a BBC Story, a man walked into a Pretoria (South Africa) police station to report that he’d been robbed and gunpoint and his cell phone was stolen. After giving police the details regarding his phone, the officer taking his story dialed the number. The phone began to ring, in the man’s pocket. He was subsequently arrested for perjury.
