Suspected Burglar Falls Through Roof While Fleeing Cops

According to KPIX, the man had attempted
to break into an ATM inside the bank. He
crawled through an air ventilation shaft
early on Friday morning, before the bank
was open for business. The would-be thief set off the bank’s silent
alarm, and police promptly responded. Cops
saw him fleeing, running and jumping from
one roof to another. But then, like something out of a Looney
Tunes cartoon, the thief fell through a hole
in the rooftop just as he was preparing to
surrender, KPIX reports. Media Information Officer Gordon Shyy of
the San Francisco Police Department told
Yahoo News that the suspect, John Franklin,
33, landed in the attic of an apartment. No
money was taken from the ATM, Shyy said. Police Sgt. Wilfred Williams told reporters,
“I’ve responded to several different silent
alarm calls at banks, but this is the first time
when someone fell through a roof.” The suspect wasn’t seriously injured during
the tumble, according to KPIX. And thus ends the sad, sad saga of the
hapless bandit of San Francisco. Posted by Olumide on September
