YOU COULD SAY he was caught bread handed.

Gardaí in Dublin intercepted a well-known thief during a speed check on Nassau Street this morning. The suspect insists he was just trying to earn a crust to feed his chicks, but he’s definitely on his way to becoming a jail bird.

Here’s a dramatic image of the crime scene, from the Gardaí’s Facebook page:

The Gardaí are asking people to caption the photo over on Facebook – what’s the best you can come up with?
