Motodop double dips, plot thickens and sours

An enterprising motodop who decided to dabble in the world of crime was fingered after making the rookie mistake of returning to the scene of the crime on Monday.

Believing the heat to have died down, the man returned for another go on Monday, only to be arrested on his sophomore attempt.
