Naked man found wedged in chimney

A naked man found wedged in the chimney of a supermarket in Wigan has been arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Police officers discovered him trapped in a chimney breast of a Tesco Express store on Ormskirk Road, Pemberton.

Firefighters were called to rescue the man who had become trapped in the chimney as he tried to get out.

A Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said: “It is believed some of his clothes came off as a result of him struggling to get out of the chimney.” Read full story here…

The moral of this tale? If contemplating breaking and entering – buy a decent belt.
