Tazviona Maluge Bhebe Robbed Store Wearing Underwear On Head, Pleads Guilty

Security footage shows Tazviona Maluge Bhebe, 40, attempting to rob a UK liquor store while using a pair of boxer shorts as a disguise.

He would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for that elastic waistband.

Tazviona Maluge Bhebe, 40, entered a London liquor store last January, wielding a kitchen knife and disguised with a pair of light blue boxer shorts over his face, according to the Telegraph. Police say the Zimbabwean man then threatened to "use the knife" if store employee Harry Mahalingham, 34, did not give him money.

Mahalingham, however, was not about to give in to demands from a talking pair of underwear. The sales assistant leapt over the counter, grabbed a display sign, and proceeded to beat Bhebe with it, the New Zimbabwe reported.

Ultimately, Bhebe's disguise failed him. Security camera footage shows the boxer shorts slipping off the robber's head, revealing his face. Police identified Bhebe based this footage as well as DNA samples from the underwear, which the would-be thief discarded as he fled the shop, according to UPI.

On April 12, Bhebe pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years in prison, the Surrey Comet reported.

At least it's nice to know Florida doesn't have all the dumb criminals.

There's a lesson here for would-be robbers: Steal a CLEAN pair of shorts to wear as a disguise!

Maybe in prison he'll learn to use pantyhose instead.

I think even if the guy had a gun the clerk wasn't going to hand the money over because he didn't want to explain he got robbed by a man wearing underwear with mud stains on his head.

Come on Huff Post, you didn't answer what we all really care about. Were the underwear clean before he wore them.

I would think that ladies underwear would have made a better disguise. Of course he would want a pair that fits his head and don't forget the pantyhose over the top of it....and nice shoes!

Michael Jordan will be so proud! Those Hanes boxers really performed well. They never rode up and the elastic never rolled.

I guess the first job he pulled was to steal Pee Wee Herman's giant underwear.

The underwear had racing stripes that's why he got away so fast . Unfortunately they just followed the smell to find him .
