Florida man steals crossbow by shoving it down his trousers

Darren Durrant was shown on CCTV at the True Value Store in Florida earlier this month.

The 46-year-old man is seen walking into the shop with a crutch before pulling out a pair of cutting tools and removing the security tag on a Ravin Rio crossbow.

Durrant is then seen shoving the weapon down the front of his trousers before leaving the shop.

Astonishingly, he made it out of the store without being spotted but he was arrested a few days later in the car park of a nearby shop.

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey wrote on Facebook: "Just when you think you have seen it all.

"This guy takes carrying a concealed weapon to a whole new level, as he proves to all of us that you can actually stuff a crossbow down the front of your pants!"
