SWAT team descends to find sleeping man

MONTREAL, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- A massive force sent to nab a suspected burglar in a Montreal suburb found the man sleeping in the attic, police said.

Police arrested the 35-year-old suspect in Pointe Claire Saturday morning after receiving a call from someone who said he heard noises, The (Montreal) Gazette reported.

After the resident of Pointe Claire's Cedar Park neighborhood phoned police at 6 a.m., six police cars, an ambulance and a small special-weapons-and-tactics squad arrived and cordoned off the street.

After a 5-hour siege, police went inside and found the man sleeping in the attic.
