Alleged thief wears pants as disguise

''We hope, at least, they were his own pants.''

An alleged thief wore underwear on his head as a disguise.

The man has become a laughing stock in Belarus after trying to use a pair of pants to cover up his face during a raid on a bar and could soon be picked up by the police as his cunning disguise did not prevent him from being spotted on CCTV footage, the Daily Mirror newspaper reports.

Police spokesman Darja Dashkevich said: ''A waiter had forgotten to lock the cellar door and the thieves were taking advantage ... The pants aren't such a good disguise because you can see everything through the leg holes and the Y-front.''

He added: ''We hope, at least, they were his own pants.''
