The troubled son of famed chef Marco Pierre White been jailed for robbing a Grade II-listed cafe after he was identified by the distinctive tattoos on his legs while escaping from a window.

Marco Pierre White Jr is serving a 41-week prison sentence after being caught smashing into a Bath delicatessen with a champagne bottle and stealing £250 in May.

The 29-year-old was identified by authorities after his trousers fell down revealing his distinctive tattoos on his legs.

...

“He probably thought he was in the clear but when he crawled back through the window he got his tracksuit caught on the frame and accidentally mooned his bare backside right at our CCTV cameras.”

He added: “He’s been hanging out with the wrong crowd for years and we know he’s got a drug problem.

“This is the second time he’s broken into our cafe – the first time was almost exactly a year ago when he stole about £650.

“The hilarious thing about this burglary is that we only knew it was him because his trousers got caught around his ankles and we could see his tattoos on his bum cheeks.”

There's a lot of specific decisions in life you have to take to go to prison because of a tattoo on your ass.

The biggest is not realizing tattoos are identifiable markings.

If you have any tattoos and decide to commit a crime you'd better take those tats into account. They will be used against you.

I bring this up not to help criminals but potential protestors. Your tattoos will be used to identify you. Cover that shit up.

In fairness he probably wasn't expecting to expose his arse tattoos

Probably shouldn't have worn his loose-fitting trackies, really
