A man wanted for a Kmart store robbery was arrested the other day when he showed up to take a test to become a police officer.
A Chula Vista police spokesman, Bernard Gonzales, said that investigators had identified Romeo Montillano as a suspect in a December 8th robbery. Once they realized that Montillano had signed up for the February police entrance exam they just waited for him to come in to take the test.
When the man was arrested he had the gaul to ask if he would still be able to take the exam!!!
I think that would be a big NO! Instead he might end up seeing the inside of a jail cell for some time as his bail was set at $110,000.

A would be thief in Vernon, B.C. took no for an answer two out of three times! In the end his persistence paid off.
It all started last Tuesday evening when the man entered a Vernon Square Dollar Store at about 5:45 pm. He demanded money but the cashier refused and he left. The then entered a Money Mart at 7:20 pm, pulled a knife, and demanded money. Again, the teller refused to hand over the cash so he left. (why’d he bother with the knife?)
Finally, at about 9 p.m. he robbed a gas station and fled with an undisclosed amount of money. I guess they finally took him seriously at the gas station.
He is described as a skinny man in his 20s with light brown or blond hair, about five-foot-six.
I guess as the saying goes, if you fail, try and try again. He sure did!

I just wrote a post on Truly Odd Planet about Dumb Criminals and I included several videos.
I was actually able to find enough dumb criminal videos that I thought I’d share a few over here too.
It’s one thing to be a dumb criminal, but it’s quite another to be a stupid one! Watch as this guy breaks into a pizza parlor by coming in a window. Unfortunately his exit from the store doesn’t go quite as smoothly!
Dumb Criminal – That’s gotta hurt!
Robber is headbanging himself
If there are any future criminals planning a heist reading this, here’s a tip – breaking in through the chimney to commit a robbery is not the way to do it!

Here’s another tip for would-be thieves – Don’t rob a security camera store! Duh!
Dumbest Criminals Ever Rob a Security Camera Store
Pulling your shirt over your head like Beavis isn’t going to keep you safe from the 24 working security cameras on sale in the SECURITY CAMERA STORE, you blasted idiots.
Please let me know if you enjoy these kind of stories and if you like watching videos occasionally as I’ll make this a regular feature.
