Boy, 5, was behind burglary 1525083

Police investigating a burglary at a kindergarten in Romania were shocked to find the mastermind was a five-year-old boy
Officers, in Jirlau, Braila county, were called to investigate the break in after the caretaker found a back window broken.

They found several rooms had been ransacked and initially thought the burglars were searching for petty cash.

But, after talking to staff, they discovered all that was missing was part of the nursery's collection of toys.

Detectives questioned neighbours and two boys, aged five and 13, who live nearby, admitted to the crime.

The younger boy told police he "missed his toys and just couldn't wait till school term starts again in September".

He convinced his older friend to come with him to the kindergarten where they broke in, stuffed two bags with toys and left.
