BATAVIA, Ill. (UPI) -- Police in Illinois were able to identify the suspect in a photo booth theft after the machine was activated during the robbery.

The booth at Funway Amusements captured photos of the suspect who pried open the machine's cash drawer and stole $75 in cash and caused $75 worth of damage, according to Batavia police department.

When the man attempted to open the photo booth's cash drawer the machine automatically began to take photos.

 

"The machine is designed to take photographs when it senses tampering to the cash drawer," Batavia police said. The report was delayed until the owner could get a repairman to pull the offenders images from the machine.

The theft occurred on Nov. 25 but the repairs took several months causing a delay in the case.
