Sub-par! Moment ‘crook’ appears to smuggle golf clubs down his trousers before walking out of a shop without paying
- CCTV footage shows a man pick up a pair of putters and place them to one side
- Another slides them down his trousers before walking out of the golf shop
This is the bizarre moment two ‘crooks’ tried to steal £850 worth of golf clubs by stuffing them down their trousers.
CCTV footage shows one man pick up a pair of putters and place them to one side, before another slides them down his legwear before walking out of the Winchester golf shop.
A video of the incident was posted on Ferndown Forest Golf Course’s Twitter profile with the mocking caption, ‘The standard of crooks today has really gone down hill’, adding that the footage ‘just need s a Benny Hill tune played over the top’.
The alleged theft took place on Sunday afternoon at the Royal Winchester golf shop, a spokesman for the golf course told MailOnline.
Staff were talking to other customers when the two men ‘stole’ two Scotty Cameron Putters worth £425 each and walked away, proprietor Steve Pockneall said.

‘Through the power of social media we tracked them down and have recovered the two putters,’ he said.
‘We have handed the CCTV, names and addresses of the individuals to Hampshire Police who are dealing with the incident.
‘From a personal note, although it is disappointing to be the victim of a crime, the manner of the crime certainly has a funny side.
‘I am glad we have recovered our stolen products and hope the police deal with the criminals in a way that will deter future incidents.’
Hampshire Police have been contacted for comment.
