Hearse a real steal

POLICE in Mexico have nabbed a man who made off with a hearse – complete with a corpse inside.

The Tlaquepaque police department says on its Facebook page that the hearse was ready to take the body of an 80-yearold man from a hospital in neighbouring Guadalajara to a funeral home.

Police say a man, 40, has admitted seeing the keys left in the vehicle and deciding to take it late on Friday night.

Officers spotted the hearse along a highway and detained the suspect.
