Blood From Mosquito Identifies Car Thief

December 22, 2008

Police in Finland caught a car thief using blood found in a mosquito.

Finding the car in Seinaejoki, north of Helsinki, police saw that the mosquito had recently sucked blood and decided to send the insect for analysis.

The DNA found from laboratory tests matched a man on the police register.
The suspect denies stealing the car and says he was just hitch-hiking a lift with a man.
