50 Cent necklace thief detained

Angolan police have arrested Bruno Carvalho over the theft of a necklace from 50 Cent during a performance, after his parents identified him from video footage.

Angolan police have arrested a man, named Bruno Carvalho, who allegedly stole a necklace from around 50 Cent's neck while the rapper performed at the (wait for it) International Peace Festival in Africa last Wednesday. Carvalho's own parents handed him over to police on Sunday, after recognising him in video footage of the theft, which turned up on Angolan TV and the internet. Police paraded the man in front of the press on Monday and informed them that he would face criminal charges.
