Thief caught after snoring loudly

A thief entered a home late at night in China, however, in the midst of his heist, he fell asleep and was eventually caught by homeowners when they heard loud snoring.

The robber entered a house in Yunnan province in southwest China at around midnight on November 8, but became spooked when he heard people talking inside. So, he decided to wait in a separate room until the homeowners went to sleep.

The waiting criminal then smoked a cigarette and fell asleep, according to The Paper.

The homeowner, surnamed Tang, had gone to sleep with her young child when she was woken by loud snoring, which she initially ignored, assuming it was coming from a neighbor’s house.

When 40 minutes had passed, she got up to clean her child’s milk bottle and noticed that the snoring grew louder and realised it was coming from another room in her house.

She then decided to investigate further and found that the robber, surnamed Yang, sleeping soundly on the floor in another room.

Ms Tang immediately alerted her family and police, following which the man was arrested.

The cops revealed that the intruder had a criminal history, including being jailed for theft in 2022. He resumed his ‘old profession’ after being released in September, the cops said, adding that for now, his case remains under investigation.
