An unfortunate thief was caught on camera getting arrested just seconds after attempting to use a stolen credit card to make a purchase.
The “comical” moment occurred in Alberta, Canada, where a crook wanted to pay for his energy drink using a stolen card.
At first, the thief swiped the card which didn’t work. He then attempted to pay for the drink by tapping on the card reader which didn’t work as well.

Just seconds after his card was rejected, the cop standing behind him checked the card and handcuffed the man before dragging him out of the Starlite Convenience Store.
Fortunately, the card appeared as stolen on the screen which prompted the cashier, Mr. Stevens, to alert the police officer standing right behind the thief.
“When he went to pay, unfortunately, it came up on the slip that it was a stolen credit card and to call the police, which was pretty easy to do,” Stevens said.
“I just had to show him the paper and he was more than happy to make an arrest. I almost fell down laughing, I was doing pretty well everything I could to not start laughing as he was arresting him.
“It was quite comical.”
Before the arrest was made, the police were already called to the store to keep an eye on a suspicious person who turned out to be in possession of a stolen credit card.
Following the arrest, the crook has been released on a promise that he would answer for his crimes in court at a later date.
