British police arrest naked burglar trapped in chimney
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON - It wasn't unusual that the burglary suspect caught in northern England wasn't wearing a mask.
But in this case he wasn't wearing anything at all. Greater Manchester police say they found the naked man trapped in the chimney of a supermarket in the town of Pemberton around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Police have no idea how the man got into the chimney, but they speculate that some of his clothes may have come off while he struggled to extricate himself.
The fire service was called in to free the 22-year-old, who was taken to hospital as a precaution.
The man, not yet identified by police, was later arrested and jailed.
