A thief who tucked a stolen mobile phone into his underpants was caught out when police called the number and heard it ringing inside his trousers.
The 18-year-old man was arrested after police saw him rob a woman at gun point on her way to church near the east coast city of East London in South Africa.
Police spokeswoman Michelle Matroos said: "They searched him, but they didn't get (her) cell phone back. While they were in the charge room one of the officers decided to call the number.
"They heard the phone go off, and when they searched the suspect they found it in his underpants."
