Burglar disguises himself as 'ghost' to avoid being caught on camera

A burglar went to the extremes to avoid being caught by wrapping himself in a white sheet to disguise himself as a ghost, that's right, a GHOST!

CCTV footage taken at an unidentified building in Jingyang, China, shows the robber making his way down a corridor and shielding himself as much as possible from the cameras.

He spots a camera in front of him and quickly ducks back into cover. Unfortunately, after all his efforts, he showed his face to the camera, which lead to his arrest.

According to reports, he did not manage to steal anything from the building but was however arrested in connection with other crimes.
