(Sorry. Wrong turn.)
Polish thief flees to ... police headquarters
ROME (Reuters) - A Polish shoplifter took a very wrong turn -- towards Rome's police headquarters -- while fleeing a supermarket with two stolen bottles of alcohol.
Hearing screams of "Stop thief!", heavily armed police just outside the building cooly grabbed the 19-year-old, a police spokeswoman said on Thursday.
Stunned, the crook immediately confessed and handed over the liquor.
"Yes, I stole the bottles. But not this chocolate," he said, pointing to a candybar he had purchased earlier, according to Il Messaggero newspaper.
Three of his friends, spectators to the event, were arrested as accomplices, the spokeswoman said.
