Man arrested after naked chimneysweep incident

A British man was arrested after allegedly trying to burgle a supermarket by climbing up the chimney naked.

Police in Greater Manchester were called to the Tesco Express shop in Wigan after someone reported "concern for a man".

When officers arrived, they found a 22-year-old man trapped in the chimney without any clothes on.

A statement read: "It is believed some of his clothes came off as a result of him struggling to get out of the chimney."

The man was then taken to hospital, discharged and is now in police custody.
