Thieves caught 'mooning' a CCTV camera as they steal from van

West Midlands police have shared footage of a thief 'mooning' a CCTV camera after stealing tools from a van in Coventry.

It's thought he could be identified from his bare cheek, after he flashed it out a getaway car window.

Police are convinced the mooner is linked to a wider group that has targeted more than 40 tradespeople across the region recently.

"We’ve had a bit of fun with the video in the hope it will be widely shared and generate information about who might be involved," says Det Insp Stew Lewis.
