- 10 months ago
A bungling burglar was caught red-handed after showing his face while bashing a Ring doorbell camera.
Sam Norman, 35, stared straight into the lens at the moment his hood slipped revealing his face in crystal-clear detail.
Footage shows the dozy crook - who was wearing bright red gloves - poking the security camera with a pole until it pointed away from him but it was too late.
He even came face-to-face with the homeowner who was in at the time of the botched break-in on July 10.
Norman fled the property in Salt Boxes in Pivin, Pershore, Worcs., on a bicycle but was caught when police recognised his mug from the footage.
