A Scottish burglar was apprehended after the owners of the house he had broken into discovered him asleep in their bed.
24-year-old Mark McCole broke into the Al-Hamdanis' house in Perth by smashing a glass pane in their back door. He had planned to rob the couple of their cash and jewellery, but a punchy combination of booze, cocaine and ecstasy led McCole to require a nice little nap before getting on with the thieving.
He was woken by the screams of Mrs Al-Hamdani, who had gone into the couple's bedroom after smelling strong alcohol odours and was confronted with McCole's toes. The hapless thief tried to flee the scene but was tackled to the ground by the homeowners, who sat on him until the police arrived.
McCole pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months in jail at PerthCrown Sheriff Court this week.
