Robber leaves behind a mobile phone containing his picture

A robber who left behind a mobile phone containing his picture has been dubbed Britain's dumbest criminal. David Kelly, 30, dropped his phone as he and an accomplice switched getaway cars after a £6,000 raid on an estate agents.

He was jailed for six years after police identified him from the mobile's album of snaps of him with his wife.

Kelly also used his own car in the getaway and it was easily traced.

His accomplice, who has not been traced, held up the estate agents with a 'shotgun' which staff could see was a hammer. (The Sun, via Ananova)
