Burglar gets stuck in burglar bars

A little extra flab around the midsection may have cost a burglar five years in jail. According to court reports, fifty-six year old Santiago Swasey of mile twenty-three on the Northern Highway was found by police at one thirty Wednesday morning stuck fast between some burglar bars. He had apparently entered the Riverside Patio Restaurant at the Belize City Commercial Centre easily enough, but getting out was the problem. At the scene police recovered a calculator, seven bottles of Guinness, one bottle of Belikin Premium, seven packs of Independence and a flashlight, all property of the restaurant. This morning Swasey appeared before Magistrate Dorothy Flowers, where he pleaded guilty and received his sentence of half a decade behind bars.
