YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Colorado crook carrying thousands of dollars of stolen merchandise walked right into the police’s hands after he was caught trying to use an Uber as a getaway car, cops said.

The bungling burglar was ransacking a plumbing store in the Denver suburbs last week when he called the rideshare driver to pick him up.

The store owner had called 911 after noticing a hole cut in the business’ fencing and caught surveillance footage of the thief inside.

When the local Wheat Ridge police arrived on the scene, they discovered the Uber driver waiting nearby.

He told cops his passenger “Jose” was headed right toward the car.

“Are you looking for an Uber?” an officer can be heard asking the suspect in bodycam footage shared by the department.

The man — wearing the hood of his black sweatshirt up and a pulled-down balaclava — shoots his gaze sideways and hides his hands inside his pockets.
