Bulgarian Safecrackers Not So Good

Greek police arrested a Bulgarian safecracker early Sunday who was trapped for two days inside an Athens bank vault, state television NET reported.

Posing as a customer, the 30-year-old man had hidden inside the National Bank branch in the suburb of Kaisariani since Friday but locked himself inside the vault after inadvertently springing an alarm, NET said.

Bank staff were unable to override the security system, forcing police to demolish a wall to free the burglar who had helped himself to the contents of several safe deposit boxes, the station said. - AFP
