Would-be burglar caught after getting stuck in ceiling of shop after falling through

A would-be thief in the city of Krasnoyarsk in Siberia, Russia, planning to rob a small shop fell through the roof and was unable to free himself.



Police were alerted to the scene of the crime after an alarm went off. However, they were surprised to find a pair of legs dangling from the ceiling.

With temperatures well below freezing, it seems as though the not-so-catlike burglar was dressed a bit lightly, wearing only a pair of shorts.

Police eventually managed to free the 40-year-old man, who said he acted alone. He was taken in for questioning, while a criminal case has been opened against him.
