FRENCH POLICE NAB ROBBERY SUSPECT STUCK IN WINDOW

-

Arrests can’t come any easier than this. French gendarmes called to a robbery found the suspected thief stuck in a hole he had made with a hammer in a shop window. The national gendarmeri­e on Sunday published a photo appearing to show the man half-in and half-out of the hole. “Drunk, he robbed a shop but got stuck ... in the window before being arrested,” the gendarmeri­e tweeted, with the hashtag “ThugLife.” The 46-yearold man was arrested Thursday morning in the Pyrenees town of Mauleon-Licharre in southwest France, a duty officer for the regional gendarmeri­e told The Associated Press. Firefighte­rs were called to free the man, who was then taken into custody, said the officer, who wouldn’t be quoted by name, citing official policy.
