Two capital thieves obviously never heard the adage “pick on someone your own size” as they were arrested for trying to steal phones from a pair of young boys.

Police say the lads were sitting in their family’s crockery shop when two men pulled up and asked to borrow their mobiles. After the devices were handed over the men bolted.

Evidently panicking when the kids called for help, they promptly wiped out. Neighbours apprehended the phone filchers until cops came.
