Catnap Burglar Found in Woman's Bed

Del. woman wakes up next to conked-out criminal in her bed

Newark Police are looking for a burglar who allegedly took a nap next to the woman whose home he hit.

The Newark, Del., woman woke up to find a strange man sleeping in bed next to her at about 5:30 a.m. Thursday. Upon seeing the snoozing intruder, the woman screamed and the man promptly got out of bed and quickly left the residence, police say.

The man gained access to the woman’s residence through an unlocked door, police say.

The prowler is described as a clean-shaven white male who is about 5-feet 11-inches, with a thin build and unkempt hair.

Anyone with information on the tired trespasser should call Det. Michael Watson at 302.366.7110, ext. 133. Anonymous tips via text message are also encouraged – just text 302NPD and your message to TIP411.
