Some may say the offender’s choice of brew was a little bizarre.
“He also grabbed a can of Fanta,” Trigg said.
“He must’ve got thirsty while trying to get into the safe.”
At this stage, the silent alarm had already been triggered, and the police started to arrive.
With no exits in the kitchen, the nearby chiller provided the cops with the perfect ice block.
“He ran into the chiller door, but there’s nowhere really to go in there,” Trigg said.
With the alleged burglar perhaps feeling a little down and out the answer ended up being right above.
“He got up like that into the roofspace,” Trigg said.
As time ticked on, a successful escape seemed increasingly likely.
But after a quarter-of-an-hour of searching and scavenging, just after 5:30am it all came crashing down.
