A 5-year-old boy from Romania has been found to be mastermind behind a robbery at a kindergarten in Braila County. 

This is not the mastermind… just a cute little boy playing with toys

The caretaker of a Jirlau nursery called police recently after he found a window broken in the rear of a local kindergarten, Ananova reports. Investigating officers found several rooms had been ransacked. They assumed the burglars were looking for cash. 

However, after talking to the staff, police discovered the kindergarten’s collection of toys was missing. When detectives began questioning neighbors, two boys, 5 and 13, who live nearby, admitted to the crime. 

The younger boy convinced his older friend to help him break in and stuff two bags with toys before leaving with the items.

The younger boy told police he “missed his toys and just couldn’t wait until the school term starts in September.” 

Gotta give him an A for effort.
