A HAPLESS burglar is being hunted by Watford police after a failed attempt to steal a safe from a school in Garston.
Bemused workman at Parmiters School in High Elms Lane saw the would-be thief trying to tow away the safe in an upright, two-wheeled trolley attached to the back of his car, believed to be a three-door blue Vauxhall Astra.
As he drove over a speed bump, the trolley came loose. When the offender tried to re-attach it, he was challenged by the workmen and drove off at high speed.
The incident happened at about 6.50pm on Sunday.
Anybody with information can contact Watford CID on 01923 472000.
