A wanted robber has been mocked on social media after he turned up at a POLICE STATION asking for help – while driving a stolen car.

The bungling crook knocked on the door of the police base to tell stunned officers he was being chased on Thursday morning (9/5).

But the 41-year-old was swiftly arrested because he was wanted for five offences, including robbery.

He had also driven himself to the police station in Newtown, Birmingham, in a stolen car – despite also being disqualified from driving.

West Midlands Police took to social media to share details of the incident and branded the criminal’s actions an “epic fail”.

WMP Force Response said: “Unbelievable scenes at Newtown as a male bangs on the station door saying he’s being chased.

“That’s all well and good mate but you’re currently wanted for five offences including robbery.

“He remains in police custody.”

Web users were also quick to ridicule the crook who they branded as “Britain’s dumbest criminal.”

Dave Shuttleworth added: “This has got to be Britain’s dumbest criminal.”

Twitter user @lovelylizzy999 put “You just can’t make it up !!” while Mike M said: “What an absolute doughnut.”
