Thief asks for ‘time out’

Philippine police chased down an unfit thief after he ran out of breath and asked his pursuers for a ‘time out’.

“He was panting and gasping for air when we caught up with him after a 500 metre sprint,” one of the arresting officers, told.

Buenceso said the man and an accomplice broke into a house in the Philippine capital and stole two expensive mobile phones. Screams from the residence alerted a local police patrol, which gave chase. The robber asked for a ‘time out’ using hand signals.

After he regained his composure, police seized the two stolen phones and brought him to a station for questioning. reuters
