Police arrest snoring burglar

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): A Malaysian burglar, exhausted after
breaking into an office on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, fell
asleep on the job ... and snored his way into police lock-up,
reports has said.

The 22-year-old professional locksmith was exhausted after
cutting through iron grilles to enter the office block in the
suburb of Petaling Jaya and fell asleep by a safe, police said.

"Unfortunately, he overslept, and an employee found him
snoring away beside a safe," district deputy police chief Reduan
Aslie was quoted saying by the Sunday Times.

The worker called police immediately and the slumbering thief
was caught.
