• Alin Marin stole phones swiped while jostling with revellers at Royal Blood gig
• Police were also mingling with crowd at Arena Birmingham in covert operation
• Romanian, 22, had secreted 53 phones inside compression suit he was wearing
• Admitted theft and jailed for three years at Birmingham Crown Court yesterday

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.

Dont put phones in your jeans or in pockets without zips - beware of pickpockets at all times in crowded areas and especially cities in England..

And well done to the Police for apprehending this Romanian Pickpocket

Always Romanians stealing stuff.

I've never heard of Royal Blood, so I assumed this would be about a minor member of the royal family turning to petty crime...

So the real question here is, how many phones is it possible to fit into a swimsuit, can't believe the maximum is 53

You can be so cruel
