One woman thought she could pull off the perfect crime — until the store’s CCTV caught her in the act.

According to a report by television show Umagang Kay Gandaa woman by the name of Carmelota Signi was arrested in San Fernando, La Union for stealing a total of five pairs of pants from a department store.

However, she denied the accusation saying: “I didn’t steal anything here. They just chased after me because I ran away.”

Signi could have gotten away scot-free but CCTV footage from the store shows her stealing the pants.

Her chosen method: hiding them underneath her skirt. An eagle-eyed sales lady who was watching the CCTV saw Signi in the act, and the latter was arrested for committing theft.

Of course, this didn’t sit well with the store’s manager, named Sharmaine Agdaca, who said: “I hope they could work, instead of stealing. The owner of the store worked hard to pay for those items, and we work hard in taking care of those products so that we earn our salary.”

Amen.
