A man praying on the side of the road near the Italian city of Perugia was actually a look-out for thieves, police alleged.
After police confronted the unidentified man regarding his actions at the feet of a roadside Madonna, he quickly gave up his religious efforts and fled the scene with officers in hot pursuit, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.
Police allege the man had been serving as a look-out for a burglary that was under way at an engineering company.
The suspects at the burglary site also fled, leaving behind seven drills they had apparently intended to steal, authorities said.
All three suspects were in police custody Thursday.
