Contortionist who hid in a suitcase to steal from tourists arrested
A CONTORTIONIST has been arrested after he hid inside a suitcase and stole from tourists' luggage while on a bus trip.

Police found the flexible 1.78m thief curled up in the suitcase when investigating why items were regularly stolen on the bus route between Girona Airport and Barcelona, Spain.

Tourists reported valuables such as laptops were going missing from the baggage compartment of the bus during the hour-long trip, the Daily Mail reports.

Holidaymakers only realised items were missing when they arrived at their hotels and opened their bags.
