KUCHING: A 24-year-old cat burglar, who tried to break into a residential unit on the second floor, fell flat after the alert owner foiled his ‘rise to riches’.

The suspect sustained injuries in the arms and legs following the fall that took place around 3am yesterday.

It was said the suspect lost his grip on the water pipe which he was climbing to the second floor when the owner opened a window to check out the noise.

When the intruder was knocked out in the fall, the owner duly called police.

As of 10.30am, the suspect was still receiving treatment at the hospital, closely monitored by police.

He is expected to face questioning when he gets discharged.
