OMAHA, Neb. -- The search is on for a very revealing burglar who hit a Tobacco Hut at about midnight Monday. Surveillance cameras caught him with his pants down.
The store has been burglarized several times, and owner John Greuniesen said he was tired of it.
Greuniesen said he recently put in a state-of-the-art surveillance system at all six of his Tobacco Huts to catch criminals in the act, to protect employees and to send a strong message to other would-be bandits.
"If you try to rob Tobacco Hut, you're going to get caught on tape and you're going to be put on television and that's why we put our system in. So, if you're going to rob somebody, rob somewhere else," Greuniesen said.
The video produced by the Tobacco Hut cameras is crystal clear, and the tape from Monday morning shows how a man cleaned out the cash registers. But he didn't get the cash before he lost his pants. The burglar broke out the glass in a front door.
"(He) tried to bend the bars, couldn't quite get through and lost their drawers on the way through," Greuniesen said.
The burglar's pants slipped down, but it didn't keep the burglar from crawling from register to register. He stayed low and moved slowly. During the entire time, he never tried to pull up his pants. He eventually crawled away.
"Both sides of him are going to be on TV. One of those sides is going to get (him) caught," Greuniesen said.
The store owners said the pantsless routine isn't new. A couple years ago, a burglar caught his pants on some glass and basically ripped them halfway off on his way into a Tobacco Hut.
