Two thieves who entered a house in Maullai in Wadukkodai at the dead of night when the owners were away, had instead of carrying out the robbery, prepared a sumptuous meal and fallen fast asleep while watching TV.
The owner of the house who returned in the early hours of last morning, had to his surprise found two strangers sleeping on his bed. He had quietly called the 119 but as the soon as the police team arrived the thieves had awoken and while one of them fled the scene, the other was nabbed by the police.
A search in now ongoing to arrest the thief who had fled the scene.
