An officer in Staffordshire, central England, Chief Inspector John Owen labelled the thieves the “world’s unluckiest burglars” and likened them to the ill-fated crooks in the film “Home Alone.”

He said one of the pair mistakenly sat on his phone and rang 999, the UK’s emergency number, allowing officers to hear the crime in progress and ultimately listen in on their colleagues arresting the duo.
