Burglar stuck in window for six hours
(from http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news - 24 August 2010)
A burglar tried to break into a house at 2am yesterday but found himself in a bit of a tight spot.
After attempting to slip in through an unlocked window under the cover of darkness, the thief found himself stuck fast in the tiny frame measuring just 12in by 8in.
Unable to wriggle out of it, the crook was left with his bottom and legs dangling outside the ground floor window for almost six hours until he was discovered by the astonished owner of the house as he came downstairs for breakfast
Police, ambulance and fire crews were called to the address in Bow, east London after the homeowner reported the intruder's sticky predicament at 7.30am. Two fire engines attended and ten firefighters worked to free him using a ladder to support the man's legs as bolt-cutters sliced through the window frame.
After 30 minutes, the man was finally freed although he lost his tracksuit top in the process. He was later led handcuffed and after briefly being checked by paramedics, the man described as white and thin - although evidently not thin enough — was given the all-clear and taken away in a police van before being charged with burglary
