US Burglar goes overboard with disguise
A US man has been caught trying to break into a museum dressed in a moss-like body suit often used by hunters and military snipers.
Disguised in a Ghillie suit, Greg Liascos was discovered when a police dog sniffed him out in nearby woods, The Daily Mail reported.
"His yelp gave him away," the policeman said, after initially thinking the dog was biting at the ground.
Security and surveillance was set up at the Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals in Oregon after the caretaker noticed unusual dirt and debris gathering over a number of days.
The caretaker followed the trail to a lift shaft behind the wall of the museum toilets, where he found a large hole in the plywood wall.
He told police about the unusual find and one day later museum security guards reported a break-in which led to the man-hunt.
Police dogs tracked Liascos, 36, to a wooded enclave where he was found looking very much like part of the forest floor.
Liascos was arrested on charges on burglary and criminal mischief.
