If petty criminals suffer from one glaring flaw, it's usually an overinflated ego.
That was certainly the case with 24-year-old Peter Gamblin, who now faces prison time in England for allegedly stealing Jonathan Franke's phone, wallet, necklace, and watch. Joe Dale, a friend of Franke's, was on the line when the robbery started and overheard someone demanding money before the line went dead. When Dale re-dialed his friend, Gamblin allegedly answered instead, staying on the line for 42 minutes and even going so far as to give his name and address.
"My name's Gambo. Peter Gambo," recounted prosecutor David Outterside to the Telegraph. "Come and see me at 153 Boultham Park Road." Needless to say, cops arrested Gamblin, who now denies any wrongdoing, and charged him with theft soon thereafter. |
