Chased Thief Runs Out Of Breath, Asks Cops For A “Time Out”

by scottso

MANILA – Philippine police chased down an unfit thief on Tuesday after he ran out of breath and asked his pursuers for a “time out.”

“He was panting and gasping for air when we caught up with him after a 500 meter sprint,” Erwin Buenceso, one of the arresting officers, told local radio station dzBB.

Buenceso said the man and an accomplice broke into a house in the Philippine capital and stole two expensive mobile phones.Time out! Screams from the residence alerted a local police patrol, which gave chase.

After running a while, the robber asked for a “time out” using hand signals.

When he regained his composure, police seized the two stolen phones and brought him to a station for questioning.

JOKESTARTERS:

  • Ironically, the captured thief will now be taking a “time out” for a very long, long time.
  • Unfortunately, the thief asked for a full time out when all he had left was one 20-second time out. He was executed on the spot.
