Burglar steals entire flat, moves it next door

A burglar stripped a woman's flat bare - and then moved in next door with all her belongings.

Ann Connell, of Tulse Hill, returned home to find that everything she owned had been stolen, right down to her kitchen mop and doormat.

The only thing that hadn't been taken, for some reason, was her £1,500 engagement ring.

But when police investigated, they found the entire haul next door in a derelict flat.

Police found a man asleep on Mrs Connell's stolen sofa, clearly exhausted by the effort of moving all that furniture one door down. He was arrested on suspicion of burglary.
