Burglar stuck in door calls police for help

LJUBLJANA -- A burglar "with a foot stuck in the door" of a house he was robbing in Radovljica, Slovenia, had to call the police and ask for their assistance.

The police realized that the case was a burglary, and filed a criminal complaint against the suspect.

The police in the town of Kranj said they immediately responded to the call, only to find "a man whose foot was blocked by the door" when they arrived to the building.

They also discovered that the burglar first jumped over a wire fence and then attempted to break into the empty house by pushing his foot through the door he previously forced open.

But his attempt failed, with his foot "firmly stuck in the door," the Hina news agency reported. The unnamed thief then had no choice but to the call the police, hoping they would not discover "the background of the event."
