Thieves hid stolen sausages and cigarettes in grave

Thieves who fled with a haul of stolen sausages, beer and cigarettes are facing 10 years in jail - after stashing the loot inside a grave.

Krystof Dzielekci, 35, and his 59-year-old father Leon lifted the marble lid on his grandfather's tomb to find what he thought was the ultimate dead drop hiding place.



The pair were caught the next day when security staff at the cemetery in Zyznowa, Poland, reviewed the night's CCTV tapes and saw them digging up the grave.

"It was a good hiding place, but you'd have to be pretty hungry to want to eat any sausage once it's been down there with your grandfather's body," a police spokesman said.
