Apparent beer burglary attempt foiled by fallen fridge

WASHINGTON, June 1 (UPI) -- An apparent burglary attempt on a beer cooler ended in disaster when a suspect ended up underneath the fallen beverage refrigerator.

The CCTV video shows a man with a drink in his hand calling for help after trying and failing to get into one of several beer fridges arranged in a line.

Another man arrives and holds a jacket over his head in an apparent attempt to hide his face. The man pulls on the apparently locked door of the cooler before giving one hard yank, which causes the fridge to fall face-first onto the man.

The other man helps his cohort escape from beneath the fridge and they make a hasty getaway.

The video is time-stamped May 12, but the location is unclear.
