A BURGLAR who posed as a mannequin so he could rob one of Europe’s biggest shopping centres has been jailed.
CCTV stills from inside the mall show the man named only as Wojciech G, standing inside the display window of a shop holding a handbag.

As employees locked up their storefronts and headed home, he remained stock still in the shop window for hours.
Then he went on a stealing spree, stocking up on jewellery, cash and clothes.
Wojciech, in his early 20s, was sentenced to 16 months at Warsaw District Court on Wednesday, local media reports.
Dodging the mall security guards, he even vaulted over a sandwich shop counter before ducking down as one of the guards walked past.
Later footage from inside the shopping centre showed him hiding under a tarpaulin-covered bar where he had stolen booze and more cash.
Local police said he also snuck into a clothing store and changed into an entirely new outfit.
The brazen thief even helped himself to food at one of the restaurants in Westfield Arkadia – the largest shopping centre in central Europe.
He was finally caught by one of the guards when he helped himself to a second meal.
Wojciech was arrested but released on bail.
In a baffling move, he returned to the same mall to try and repeat his crime.
