A burglar identified as Marius Petrikas broke into a bar, downed a drink and destroyed some properties before falling asleep on a sofa.

The 30-year-old man was found sleeping after the bar owner heard snoring, Daily Star reports.

Legit.ng gathers that the burglar destroyed property worth £21,000 (N11,225,274.06) in the Newcastle pub.

The incident happened in August 2020 and the young man was tried in court after he was arrested by the police.

CCTV shows Marius helping himself to a drink before he went on a wrecking spree for no apparent reason.

He was sentenced to 12 months in prison over the offence he committed in the pub. The judge noted that the suspect's mental health contributed to his offence.

Marius will now be released almost immediately due to the time spent in prison.
