Burglary suspect caught by loud snoring

A burglary suspect was reportedly arrested on Sunday after his loud snoring revealed his whereabouts.

When police investigated a suspicious vehicle parked outside a building in South Brunswick, New Jersey following a commercial robbery, three men ran away, NBCNewYork reports.

One was caught and immediately apprehended, while another was picked up at a nearby motel an hour later.

When police returned to the scene of the alleged crime two hours after the incident, they heard a noise above a refrigeration unit in the basement. Investigating the noise, they found the third suspect, Israel Cortes, of Pemberton, asleep and snoring.

Israel, his brother Christian and the third suspect Richard Wilson, 39, were charged with possession of burglary tools, burglary and theft.

The Cortes brothers were released on $10,000 bail while Wilson was released on his own security pending his appearance in court.
