Thief caught out by ultra violet spray
A THIEF who broke into a car has been caught out by an ultra violet spray security system.
Yafet Askale, 28, initially denied breaking into the vehicle. But as he stole items including a laptop he activated a SmartWater system which sprayed him with the glowing liquid and alerted police the car had been broken into, the UK Telegraph reports.
Brent Police's Detective Inspector Madeline Ryder released the pictures as a waing, telling other would-be thieves \"our trap cars and trap houses are waiting for you.\"
\"This is another excellent example of the thorough work completed by Brent Officers. Using the trap car technology we were able to charge Askale and put him before the courts,\" Detective Inspector Ryder said.
\"The trap car forms part of an overall crime reduction strategy designed by SmartWater which is an effective weapon in the armoury of tools that we routinely use in Brent.\"
Askale, from Harlesden, northwest of London, was found to be in possession of the stolen items and was sentenced to 49 hours of community service and a fine of 400 pounds ($694).
