FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Two bungling burglars were caught by police after they booked a taxi as their getaway car using their real names.
Police said they ‘couldn’t fail’ to catch dozy crooks Kevin Forrester, 33 and Robert Scullion, 28, after they used a cab to help deliver their stolen goods back home – just one mile away.
To add to the bizarre episode, a court heard last week that Forrester had asked his friend Scullion assist with the burglary as he ‘did not want to be late for a dentist’s appointment’.

Police have said the incident was like ‘something out of The Bill’.
Magistrates were told that on January 11, Forrester broke into a log cabin by a home in Haverhill, Suffolk, snatching £7,465 of audio and recording equipment at around 10am.
He was then joined by Scullion, who ordered a large, people-carrier sized taxi to deliver the equipment back to his home.
Police were first alerted by the taxi-driver, who reported the suspicious nature of the transport.

The owner of the burgled property then reported that the cabin had been broken into and the equipment stolen.
Police were then alerted by neighbours at both the loading in Lordscroft Lane and the subsequent unloading in Montfort Court to the pair’s suspicious antics.
Police acted swiftly, and after assembling necessary warrants knocked on Scullion’s door at around 4pm.
Magistrates heard how he answered ‘Oh no!’ as officers entered and found all of the recording equipment in a bedroom upstairs.
Both men, from Haverhill, pleaded guilty to burglary at Bury St Edmunds Magistrates’ Court last Thursday.
‘It was almost like an episode of The Bill,’ said Haverhill Police Inspector Peter Ferrie. ‘It was a perfect example of how you couldn’t make this up.
‘They used their real names to pick it up in the taxi, have not got a getaway vehicle, and then had it all delivered to his home address, so we couldn’t really fail with this one.
‘By the time we had finished with everyone’s phone calls – and there were about 15 – the whole thing was laid out in front of us.’
Scullion and Forrester are due to appear at Bury St Edmunds Magistrates’ Court this afternoon.

Perhaps he is brighter than they think, perhaps he is trying to get into prison, full bed board and leisure facilities plus a low paid job.

There you are then. If they had attended school, studied hard, gone to university, and become financiers, they could have robbed everyone.

Whilst this is amusing, it serves as a reminder that a lot of or criminals are of very low intelligence. What’s even more worrying is that they have the capacity to breed.
