【读新闻学英语】小偷从警局偷走手机,立刻接到警方电话要求送还
2019年1月17日 14:08刚刚偷走手机没多久就接到警察电话,小偷直接懵了……
When Paul William Peehi answered the phone he had just stolen he didn't expect the call to be from police telling him to take the phone back to Whangārei police station, where he had just taken it from. Temptation got a bit too much for Peehi when he picked up an unattended phone and slid it into his pocket at the front counter of the Whangārei police station.

A woman inadvertently left her cellphone there but Peehi may or may not have been aware of CCTV cameras that would have picked up his opportunistic act. Police, however, didn't have to even rely on the recording devices to solve the crime.
