Thief Signaled For Time-Out in Police Chase

Thief Signaled For “Time Out” In Police Chase

Something to make you smile…

Philippine police chased down an unfit thief on Tuesday after he ran out of breath and asked his pursuers for a “time out”.

“He was panting and gasping for air when we caught up with him after a 500 metre sprint,” Erwin Buenceso, one of the arresting officers, told local radio station dzBB.

Buenceso said the man and an accomplice broke into a house in the Philippine capital and stole two expensive mobile phones. Screams from the residence alerted a local police patrol, which gave chase.

The robber asked for a “time out” using hand signals.

After he regained his composure, police seized the two stolen phones and brought him to a station for questioning.(Yahoo! News)

Hmmm…too bad for the thief that he was probably chased down by younger police officers who perhaps have yet to develop the signature beer bellies of the policemen. Hehe.

I was also laughing when I saw this article at Yahoo! News. It was like, “is this for REAL?!?!”. Well, of course, it is. But the situation was hilarious! Parang pang-pinoy comedy movies!
