Earlier, a burglar in Thailand ended up in prison after he was caught red-handed in a sleepy state. 

The robber named Athit Kin Khunthud – hailing from the Phetchabun province – had entered the home to steal valuables but got tired and decided to sleep on a bed only to be woken up later by the police.

He was asking around the area to find a house to rob.
