Johannesburg - A man was arrested for theft on Friday
after taking money from the till in the Grahamstown Spur, Eastern Cape police
said.
The 39-year-old man allegedly fell asleep in the
restaurant and was locked in, police spokesperson Mali Govender said.
"He awoke in the early hours of this morning and the
alarm had been activated, however, when local security officers checked out the
place, they found nothing amiss and continued with their routine tasks."
She said the man helped himself to some money from the
register and tried to get out of the building.
He was seen by a neighbouring businessman, who alerted
management.
He was apprehended and detained.
The man would appear in the Grahamstown Magistrate's
Court on Monday, Govender said.
