Robber calls police when he gets robbed.
Posted by Capri on June 21, 2007
A German robber called police when a taxi driver he tried to rob turned the tables and robbed him instead.
Police who answered the call from Albert Hoffmueller, 28, turned up at the taxi rank to find the taxi driver still sitting in his locked cab.
The cabbie had Hoffmueller’s wallet while the would-be-thief stood outside in Aldenhoven in North Rhine Westphalia.
The wallet was returned to Hoffmueller along with the news that he will face charges for attempted robbery.
No charges will be made against the taxi driver who claims he only kept the wallet for the purposes of identifying the crook.
