A pickpocket who stole more than 50 phones from concertgoers in one night was found to have concealed them inside a full-length swimsuit.
Alin Marin, 22, turned himself into a 'human deposit box' for phones swiped while jostling with revellers in the mosh pit during a Royal Blood concert.
But police were also mingling with the crowd at Arena Birmingham in a covert operation prompted by intelligence that thieves had targeted fans of the band at performances earlier this year.
Romanian national Marin, of no fixed address, had secreted 53 phones inside a compression suit he was wearing beneath his clothing on November 18.
