Burglar caught on CCTV frantically looking for way out of warehouse
A would-be thief who fell 30ft through a warehouse roof was caught on CCTV searching for a way out for half an hour, before having to phone a friend.He then tried to steal a mountain bike from White Water Active in Llangollen, Denbighshire, but had to return it when it would not fit in his getaway car.
He even cleared up at the firm to try to cover his tracks - although the hole in the roof left quite a large clue.
"We're looking for a really tidy guy," said company owner Jim Jayes.

Drug suspect avoids toilet for a month
A suspected drugs mule has not gone to the toilet for more than a month - to hang on to cocaine parcels thought to be hidden in his stomach.
Police think the 49-year-old British man swallowed the packages before getting on a flight home from Columbia. But he refuses to have an X- ray - and police say he is eating as little as possible to prevent nature from taking its course.
Last week the man's lawyers argued he should be freed because officials have been unable to provide evidence that he is a smuggler. But Uxbridge Magistrates' Court in north-west London ruled he must remain in the custody of the UK Border Agency until he goes to the toilet.
Usually, suspects are monitored having two bowel movements to make sure there is nothing stored in their bellies. But police in this case are being forced to play a bizarre waiting game while the man tries to cheat the system.
The longer it goes on, the more danger there is of the packaging around any parcels disintegrating. And if they contain cocaine, it could kill him. A legal source said: "There is only so long this can go on for. It is a real case of shit or bust."
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was held on suspicion of importing class-A drugs on February 16 at London's Heathrow airport, and charged three days later. GP Dr Carol Cooper told us: "Not having a motion for a month is on the border of what the human body can stand. His bowel could rupture - he is putting his life at great risk."

Islam to sue for defamation
95,000 descendants of the prophet Muhammad are planning to bring a libel action in Britain over “blasphemous” cartoons of the founder of Islam, even though they were published in the Danish press.
The defamation case is being prepared by Faisal Yamani, a Saudi lawyer acting for the descendants, who live in the Middle East, north Africa and as far afield as Australia.
Mark Stephens, a British lawyer who has seen a “pre-action” letter sent by Yamani to 10 Danish newspapers, said it “specifically says” he will launch proceedings in London.
And again the catholic church proving how fucked up they really are.
The appointment of a new exorcist by Sydney's Catholic Church precedes a warning by a senior clergyman that generation Y risks a dangerous fascination with the occult fuelled by the Twilight and Harry Potter series.
Julian Porteous, the auxiliary bishop of Sydney, warns that pursuing such ''alternative'' relaxation techniques as yoga, reiki massages and tai chi may encourage experimentation with ''deep and dark spiritual ideas and traditions''.
Bishop Porteous, who is second to Cardinal George Pell in the Australian Catholic hierarchy, told The Sun-Herald the Twilight and Harry Potter books and films ''are attractive to adolescents and can be innocent enough.
''However, they can open up a fascination with this mysterious world and invite exploration of various phenomena through the use of occult practices like seances.''
