Thief Rescued From Chimney After 10 hours

November 17, 2011

Link

A teenager had to be rescued from a chimney after an attempted burglary went horribly wrong.

The suspect was pulled from a chimney by firefighters in Atlanta, Georgia, having been stuck for 10 hours.

The 17-year-old was taken into custody after being freed from a house in Norcross.

Gwinnett County police officer Jake Smith explained that the youth was charged with attempted burglary and giving false information to police.

Smith said that the teenager was heard yelling for help inside the chimney by a neighbor.

Fire crews found him at around 1.30pm local time, where they found him screaming for help, before telling them he had been there since 3am.

I guess that's why it took 10 hours? The firemen in Georgia had to fly over to England to get the dummy out?

Police say the 17-year-old boy was taken into custody after being freed from the chimney around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at a home in Norcross, northeast of Atlanta.

Gwinnett County police Cpl. Jake Smith tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the teen was charged with burglary and giving false information to a police officer.

Smith said a neighbor heard someone yelling for help from her neighbor's chimney.

Authorities tell the Gwinnett Daily Post the teen was screaming when fire crews arrived and told the firefighters he had been stuck there since 3 a.m. Tuesday.

Firefighters freed him by lowering a rope from the top of the chimney.

Too bad the homeowner didn't start a fire in the chimney. That would have been sweet - roast the POS.
