Two bungling burglars who were caught on crystal clear CCTV

Two bungling burglars who were caught on crystal clear CCTV ransacking an elderly woman's home tried to cover their tracks by stealing the cameras.

The thieves were caught on secret cameras which were rigged up in the 83-year-old victim's home.

The pair broke in by smashing open a key box at the front of the property before letting themselves in and telling the woman they were from the gas board.
