Burglar limps off with iPads after nursery skylight plunge

A hapless burglar was caught on CCTV plummeting to the ground after climbing through a skylight as he broke in to a nursery.

The apparently dazed suspect can be seen clutching his leg after the tumble at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery in Bromley Road, Catford, south east London.

He stole three iPads during the break-in just after 4am on April 14, and on Wednesday police appealed for anyone who recognises the suspect to come forward.

The clip shows a bearded black man, who was wearing a zipped hooded top, tracksuit bottoms and light coloured trainers, fall to the floor, recover and then limp off.

Nursery staff declined to comment.
