"Cellphone bandits' apprehended

This doesn't sound too smart. A much sought after team of "cell phone bandits" recorded themselves robbing a store with one of their camera phones. The police recovered it.

The North Jersey Media Group reports on the arrest of the "cellphone bandits," a gang of gun-wielding robbers who had carried out at least four daytime heists at various businesses since July.

"The brazen, and sometimes ruthless, robbers mostly targeted wireless stores, and even recorded themselves robbing one store with a cellphone camera, police said. The recording was recovered, they added.
