North Rhine-Westphalia: burglar calls the police: "I was thirsty"

Herne (dpa / lnw) - A repentant burglar alerted the police himself after breaking into a gazebo in Herne. The 39-year-old was already waiting for the officers at the crime scene, a police spokeswoman in Bochum reported on Wednesday.

He was very thirsty and broke open the arbor in search of something to drink, he frankly admitted. The fact that a cable was severed in the arbor was also his fault, he reported. It was too bright for him in the arbor.

Last but not least, the police officers discovered drugs in the 39-year-old. It is still unclear whether enjoying them explains his strange behavior.
