This is the moment a bungling thief stumbled off a ladder as he tried to steal a number of CCTV cameras from a garage.
CCTV footage shows the bandit putting up a ladder to reach the cameras, climb up, then as he's descending he loses his footing and falls backwards onto the road.
He manages to injure himself in the process, leaving behind a small amount of blood for police to analyse, the Manchester Evening News reports.
