Shoplifter snared after cops spotted him going into barbers for a haircut - despite being bald

A shoplifter was snared after cops spotted him going into barbers for a haircut - despite being bald. The 46-year-old tried tried to evade arrest by hiding in the hairdressers - but his lack of hair on top of his head raised suspicion of police officers watching on.

He was apprehended and later admitted to stealing 16 bottles of hair products from Boots in Beeston, Nottinghamshire on March 25.

The offender, who has not been named by police, was arrested by a plain-clothed and uniformed team based in Nottingham city centre as part of Operation Compass.
