This video goes out to all our professional criminals out there - I know our videos have
ignored you for too long and Im sorry.
Im joking - this is for all our viewers, criminal or not.
These are the stories of criminals who made the polices job very easy indeed, my name
is Danny Burke, lets get into the Top 10 Dumbest Criminals Ever Caught.
Coming in at number 10 we have Darren Kimpton.
In 2013, this British man tried to rob a house of its money.
He broke in, only to find the house was full of police officers who swiftly arrested him.
Why were the police officers there?
Well they were investigating another robbery that had happened at the house very recently
- a robbery done by Darren Kimpton.
Thats right.
He had returned to the scene of the crime to try and rob the house again, only to get
arrested by the officers investigating his first crime.
I don't want to give advice to robbers but er, pick another house, maybe.
Next up at number 9 we have David Zurfluh.
This man from Alberta Canada was arrested in 2014 for drink driving.
The 18 year old was put in the back of the police patrol car while they took him to the
station to do a full breathalyzer test.
Thats when David came up with a genius way to cheat the test, he would sober up - by
eating his underwear.
You heard me.
David ripped his underwear off and shoved it in his mouth.
Did it work?
Nope.
He blew over the limit.
The only difference was he had the taste of his own underwear in his mouth for the rest
of the night.
Blegh.
Next up at number 8 we have Albert Bailey.
In 2010, this 27 year old decided to rob a bank in Connecticut.
He was worried about the getaway though - bank robbers often get caught by a slow getaway.
So, Albert phoned the bank ahead of time.
He told them to have the money ready for him so that he could be in and out quickly.
Genius.
The bank hung up the phone and immediately called the police who were waiting for Albert
when he arrived.
They gave him a quick getaway to jail.
This story is a good reminder that bank robberies don't work the same way as pizza collections
- incase you didnt know that already …
At the number 7 spot now we have Stephan Crane.
This story is almost oo good to be true.
This man from Montana broke into a newsroom in the middle of the night while he was drunk.
He watched porn on 2 computers and even had time to check his Facebook.
He then sprayed a fire extinguisher everywhere and finally left with a big bag of M&Ms he
had found.
When police arrived at the scene, they followed the trail of M&Ms from the newsroom, across
the road and right to the door of Stephans sister where he was staying that night.
Thats right, the police literally followed a trail of chocolate to catch a suspect.
Amazing.
Next up at number 6 we have Klaus Schmidt.
In 1995, this German man tried to rob a bank in Berlin.
He made his demands to the employees with a gun.
One of them asked if he needed a bag, he said -yes its a real gun- … they also noticed
that he would only respond to the person he was looking at.
Thats when it hit them, he was deaf.
They hit the alarm and Klaus didnt move a muscle.
He kept barking orders at them until the police arrived soon after.
But wait - it gets even dumber - Klaus later tried to sue the bank for exploiting his disability.
I wonder how that went …
Moving on to number 5 we have The Coffee.
In 2010, a man pushed infront of a Starbucks line, threw a drink over the employee and
demanded all the money in the till.
The 2 men that he had pushed in front of were shocked - mainly because they were police
officers, in full uniform.
They took him to the ground and arrested him.
Whats even more crazy is that they had been talking to the same man in the street some
time before.
I guess he sees the person and not the uniform, which is nice, unless you plan on robbing
a Starbucks …
Coming in at number 4 we have Reliford Cooper.
In 2015, ths 26 year old from New York led police on a high speed chase while he was
drunk behind the wheel.
It ended with him crashing into a ditch and then into a house.
He ran into a nearby church where the police finally arrested him.
It was at that point that Reliford said they had the wrong guy, it was actually his dog
that was driving.
The police apologised and let him go.
No, of course they didnt - they couldnt even find a dog at the scene.
Good effort though.
At the number 3 spot now we have Jason Puachay.
This man from Vancouver was approached by police who wanted to search his apartment
for drugs.
At the time, he was not a suspect - they were in fact looking for someone else who lived
in his apartment block.
They got a hold of Jasons phone and couldnt believe what they saw - he had saved himself
as Jason Puachay, Drug Dealer.
They found the drugs and arrested Jason.
Thats why my details are always saved as Danny Burke, Totally Innocent.
Coming in at number 2 we have Zachary Tentoni.
In 2013, this 26 year old man from Connecticut robben a woman at night, taking her waller.
While fleeing from the scene, he dropped two bags.
At first, police didnt think they had much to go on - they appeared to contain clothes,
shoes and his birth certificate.
Yeah.
For some reason, Zachary had his birth certificate in one of the bags that he left at the scene
of the crime.
Amazingly, police were able to identify Zachary - it was a touch case to crack though ...
And finally at number 1 we have Ruben Zarate.
This is - just wait.
This man from Chicago tried to hold up a muffler shop in 2008.
He had a gun and told them to open up the safe.
The employees told him that they couldnt open the safe because the manager wasnt there.
Ruben said -OK, heres my phone number, call me when youre manager is back to open the
safe for me- … he then left and the employees called the police right away.
When the police arrived, they got the employees to call Ruben and tell him that the manager
was back.
Ruben showed up, Ruben got arrested.
OK!
I hope all you enjoyed that!

youre the people in this video - would you like a part 2?
