WATCH: Indian man steals a light bulb while exercising

In a strange case of robbery, a man stole a bulb in quite an innovative way.

The incident occurred in the city of Coimbatore where an inidentified man was seen standing near a footpath close to a set of shops.

The video clip shows the man pretending to exercise while trying to steal the bulb hanging outside a shop.

For a few minutes, he performed stretches and later stole the light bulbs. The incident was caught on CCTV cameras.

While attempting to steal the bulbs, the man quickly switches back to his exercise routine on seeing vehicles pass by.

After going on for a while, the man finally manages to take off the bulb and put it in his pocket.

However, to avoid suspicion he continues exercising and finally walks off.
