A tiny mistake has been the undoing of many a clever
crook, but unlike an alleged robber arrested in Germany, most
manage not to fall asleep at the scene of the crime.
The 26-year-old man broke into a career advice centre in the
western town of Ahaus on Tuesday night and completed several trips
taking electronics, food and sweets back to his flat, a police
spokesman told AFP on Thursday.
But the effort was clearly too strenuous for the man. Returning
to the scene of the crime for more swag, he fell asleep on an
office floor where police found him still snoozing the next
morning.
"Handcuffs were slapped on and the sleepy burglar was taken to
Ahaus police station," authorities said. He was found to be under
the influence of alcohol and drugs and was later released on
bail.
