Police in the English town of Staffordshire arrested two men in the Middleport area of Stoke-on-Trent on suspicion of burglary after receiving a “suspicious call” on Wednesday evening.
In a tweet, Chief Inspector John Owen said: “I think we have just arrested the world’s unluckiest burglars:
“Whilst committing a burglary one of the bungling burglars has accidentally sat on his phone & dialled 999.” (999 is the English equivalent of 911 in the U.S.)
