Robber waves at occupant
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported the moment a robber waved at an occupant after being caught.
A video taken by an occupant from inside the house showed the man climbing over the boundary wall. He eventually climbed to the top and jumped into the yard.
As he regained his balance and stood up, he lifted his head and spotted the occupant from the window. He played it cool by waving hello and quickly rushed out the way he came in as the house alarm went off.
