Sofia: One-armed bandit arrested. Again

A one-armed bandit in Sofia has been collared and clinked by Bulgaria's finest for attempting to pinch a car. It's the seventeenth time he has been locked up for such one-armed robbery. (We're not sure if handcuffs were used. Probably not.)

Ananova reports that Rumen Dimitrov, 50, has clocked up 16 previous convictions for his light-fingered crimes dating back to 1973. A policeman is reported to have said "He's probably Bulgaria's worst criminal." Must be a safe country, then.
