Would-be burglar gets tangled in window blinds

Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Police say a would-be burglar was halted by unlikely obstacles — window blinds.

KRQE-TV reports that police found Thomas Molina on Sunday tangled in some window blinds at Central New Mexico Community College in Albuquerque after police received a call about a break-in.

Police say the 38-year-old Molina told police he was looking for computer hardware.

Molina was arrested and charged with burglary and breaking and entering. He is being held on a $10,000 bond.

It was unclear if he had an attorney.
