They say that with many criminals it is hard to catch them because they make a quick and speedy getaway but a latest burglar seems to have defied the odds.

The clumsy intruder was caught by police during a raid after falling asleep under a duvet.

The dozy burglar, called Robert Erdei of Camden, North London, has now been jailed for four years, after deciding to take a nap during his break-in.

The idiotic robber, aged 36, was sniffed out catching some zzzs under the bedding by a police dog called Led Zeppelin, after neighbours heard him breaking in and making a racket of noise.

The Mirror reported that he had got in to bed to “warm up” at the broken into house in Barnet, North London.

Wood Green Crown Court heard that the criminal also had a crowbar and gloves.

A police spokesman said of the incident: “A duvet is no match for Led Zeppelin. The man was caught red-handed.”
