Dumb Evansville Criminal Shows Face on Security Camera – While Attempting to Disable Said Camera

Note to future criminals: If you're going to disable security cameras before committing a crime, be sure you don't look directly into the camera before, or while, you're trying to cut the cord.

Evansville Police are looking for a man who did just that right before stealing an undisclosed number of items from Treasures in Washington Square Mall on January 4th.

Ironically, his attempt to conceal his identity has given authorities a great look at his face!

Evansville Police released two images captured from the surveillance footage through their Facebook and Twitter accounts on Monday afternoon.
