A man has been dubbed "South Africa's dumbest criminal " after walking into the police station to check on his application to join the force.
Thomas Ngcobo, 40, had been on the run for seven years after he was wanted for stealing hardware products worth more than £1,000 that he was meant to deliver to clients in 2015.
Instead, he went on the run after diverting the hardware delivery to other addresses without the owner's consent or knowledge.
