Camera in Teddy Bear Catches Thief

21 08 2008

A lady has been sentenced to six months in prison today for stealing money; After being caught by a camera fitted in a teddy bear.

Emma Sampson and her father Robert decided to purchase a small camera from a local DIY store after noticing that £40 had gone missing from his mother Thelma’s purse. The pair noticed that the camera lens looked like that of the eye of a teddy bear, so fitted it in one.

They caught Thelma’s carer in the act, stealing £60, and passed the footage on to police.

As many comments on this story on other websites debate: Is a 6 month sentence for stealing £60, pleading guilty and agreeing to pay it back a bit over excessive?

Debate Below.
