Trapped thief calls police for help

A trapped thief in Germany called the police for help, officials said on Monday.
The man had broken into a house in Bonn in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia but got stuck in a storage room when the door slammed shut behind him.
He was forced to call the police, who freed him from his unexpected prison before delivering him temporarily to another.
The unlucky would-be thief was already known to the police and was booked before being released on his own recognition.
