Beijing, Nov 13 (IANS) A woman in China convinced a burglar that he looked very tired and should take a nap, promising him to give some money once he woke up. The woman tied the intruder with a rope when he fell asleep and phoned the police.
A Qingyuan county court in eastern Liaoning province sentenced the accused to six years in prison for attempted robbery, the China Daily reported Thursday.

The accused tried to commit the crime immediately after being released from prison last week.

With no cash for food, Zhang barged into a 48-year-old woman’s house, hoping to steal some money.
