(Image source from: Dead brain peddler arrested)

Last month, a 21-year-old brain bandit was arrested by police after his macabre scheme to steal the brains of dead mental patients and sell them online was foiled.

The suspect was peddling some 60 brains. And yes, amazingly there were customers.

"Suspect David Charles allegedly stole more than 60 jars of brain and other human tissues in October from a warehouse space at the Indiana Medical History Museum, the Marion County prosecutor's office said in court papers Thursday. He is accused of breaking into the museum and taking jars of brains and tissue from autopsies performed on patients in the 1890s. Court documents said some jars were sold on the auction site eBay by a middleman, despite a company policy against listing "humans, the human body, or any human body parts or products, " writes ABC15.

Attempts to reach Charles by CNN on Thursday were unsuccessful. He declined to comment outside his Indianapolis home when approached by CNN affiliate WXIN.
