Peru robbery: Shoe-shop thieves get off on the wrong foot

Criminals in Peru appear to have wrong-footed themselves during a robbery at a shoe store.

Three people broke into the shop in the central city of Huancayo and made off with more than 200 trainers - but they were all for the right foot.

The shop owner estimates that they have a value of more $13,000 (£10,000) - although the thieves may struggle to sell them on.

The lame attempt at a lucrative robbery was captured by security cameras.
