15-Second IPOD Robbery Suspects Caught

When will they ever learn that crime doesn't pay - not even for these robbers who managed to steal 39 iPods and several PS2 games in 15 second?

The amazing criminal act committed at a Target store in Utah baffled law enforcers with its world-record speed but was caught on tape by the store's surveillance cam. The incriminating video footage showed one of the suspects stuffing 39 iPods down his over-sized pair of pants before walking out of the store undetected.

Target's security department immediately sent out pictures of the three suspects, all from New York, to other stores including their Centerville branch where the suspects happened to be on the brink of another iPod heist. Unfortunately for the robbers, the iPod case at Centerfield proved to be too much of a challenge and the suspects were able to flee before the police arrived. But not before the store's security wrote down their license plate.

When the long arm of the law finally caught up with them, the trunk of their getaway car contained a bag full of iPods (worth about US$ 7,000) and PS2 games (about a few hundred dollars) and the oversized pair of pants (available free wherever reformed fashion victims throw out their out-of-fad clothes).

Had the police not caught up with the robbers, the group had plans of raiding every Target store in Utah, Nevada and possibly Arizona.
