Two prolific youth offenders went from wheels to heels after an attempted car theft. But their fancy footwork, and quick change of clothes, were no match for eagled-eyed CCTV operators and the Police dog unit.

Rotorua Lakes Council CCTV operators first caught the duo on camera trying to break into a blue Mazda Demio in the Rotorua CBD area at approximately 4.40pm on 20 August and immediately alerted Police.
