A thief fell asleep after stealing gold and cash from a house in Hyderabad.

The plan was simple. Break in, steal gold, jewellery or valuables and leave. But a thief in Hyderabad never got to the last part. He fell asleep inside the house and was still there when the homeowners returned.

The accused, a resident of the same locality, entered the house with the intention of stealing valuables. He was under the influence of marijuana at the time.

Once inside, the man searched the house and took gold jewellery from a cupboard. But instead of leaving with the stolen valuables, he settled down inside the house and fell asleep.

The homeowners returned later to an unexpected sight. They found their cupboard ransacked and an unfamiliar man lying asleep on the floor inside the room.

When the family checked the man, they found the stolen gold jewellery in his pocket. Rather than waking him, the family recorded a video of the bizarre situation before informing the police.

The police arrived at the house soon after and took the accused into custody. The jewellery was also recovered and seized by the officers.

Police said the man appeared to be heavily intoxicated when he was found. A case has been registered in connection with the incident. An investigation is underway regarding the break-in and the police are also looking into whether the accused may have been involved in any previous thefts.

For the homeowners, what began as the discovery of a ransacked cupboard turned into something far stranger: the person they suspected of stealing from them was still inside the house, asleep and allegedly carrying the very jewellery he had taken.
