Store bosses have seen off burglars by placing a life-sized photo of Hollywood action star Chuck Norris in the window.
The Prerada bakery had experienced burglaries on an almost bi-weekly basis, and installed a life-size cut-out of the famous American tough guy in its window, with the warning that the store is “under the protection of Chuck Norris”.
Now the bakery hasn't had a single burglary for more than a month.
“To be honest we just started it as a joke but it really has worked. Thieves haven't been anywhere near us for ages. People seem to respect him,” sales assistant Mirna Kovac told LiveNews.
"Everyone around here has seen his films and he's quite a popular character, perhaps even among criminals, so they've decided to leave us alone," she added.
