A suspected mugger accidentally revealed his face in a phone blunder during his getaway.

He is accused of stealing a woman’s phone after approaching her on his motorbike.

However, he failed to realise she was on a video call at the time.

Footage shows the phone thief apparently trying to end the call as he sped along a city street.

At one point, he held the phone to his jacket before attempting to end the video call again.

The alleged robbery took place in the Colombian capital Bogotá on Saturday (8 Feb).

“And yet still go onto the street with their phones in their hands.”

Another said: “He has beautiful eyes.”

Jackson added: “If anyone finds it, it’s better to hand it over to the owner directly and not the authorities.”

Carlos said: “The sad thing is nothing will happen because the police rarely catch these people and let them go free when they do.”
