A man was discovered with a half-eaten pie and covered in Doritos after allegedly breaking into a home and falling asleep.
Police in Lanarkshire said the tired intruder ended up “sleeping on the job”.
The alleged break-in happened at a house in Corsewall Street in Coatbridge on Monday night.
Sleeping on the Job!
We all feel tired when we start a shift & a thief who started his shift at 2345 yesterday was no different. He broke into a house on Corsewall St, decided on a pit stop, ate half a pie and fell asleep covered in Doritos. He woke up in cuffs #fingerlickinggood— MonklandsPolice (@MonklandsPol) November 21, 2017
