Church thief rescued by helicopter

Church thief rescued by helicopter: "man who broke his leg while trying to break into a church has been rescued and arrested.

It happened in Alcalá de Guadaira on New Year’s Eve when a 112 emergency helicopter had to be called to get the man off the roof of the Santiago el Mayor church in the town after he had slipped and broken his leg while trying to break into the building in the early hours.

Reports indicate that he could not move because of the pain, despite the attempts of a fellow thief to help him down. He had first decided to stay the night on the roof while the friend found a way to get him down, but by 4am he phoned the police on his mobile and confessed to his crime, and location.

Once back on firm ground he was arrested and then taken to hospital for treatment."
