Entrepreneurial guard turns to the dark side

A capital security guard was arrested on Tuesday for pilfering from his purported partner over the weekend. The shady sentinel waited until his co-worker’s guard was down, before wheeling his motorbike away from their post.

The thief went on to pawn the motorbike, but apparently chose to do so in instalments. When Chbar Ampov police caught up with him, he had only sold the front and back wheels.

The rest of the moto, however, had been spirited away – apparently with some difficulty – by the suspect’s accomplice.
