An elderly man had the shock of his life when he found a man sleeping in the middle of his house. He had initially assumed that the sleeping man was one of his son’s friends but it turned out that he was a drunken thief!

This incident took place at Taman Tanjung, Bahau, Negeri Sembilan, on January 23 (Monday).

“I thought it was my son’s friend, but then I saw the messy living room and there was a paper bag containing 2 knife blades, a screwdriver, 2 bottles of liquor and a computer tablet with the man.”

“The liquor and the computer tablet are items from this house, I suspected this man drank the liquor from the glass cabinet until he got drunk and fell asleep.
