He wiggled, jiggled and even dropped his trousers, but a thief trying to break into a supermarket in Portugal stayed stuck fast in a tiny window until he was rescued by police and the fire brigade.

“Apparently he dropped his trousers as he was trying to free himself by wiggling,” Capt. Santos, local police chief in Loule in southern Portugal, told Reuters Monday.

He said the slim 22-year-old Romanian man had spent about 11 hours stuck in the window, including the two hours it took police and the fire brigade to get him out Sunday morning.

“Once he got his upper body inside, there was nothing there to find support on, so he was stuck at his waist … It’s not uncommon for thieves to get inside and then not be able to get out after a burglary, but this was quite unusual,” Santos said.

A Vallejo teen gave birth Friday after she allegedly burglarized a North Vallejo home.

At about 10:30 a.m., a patrolling officer noticed a blue Mercedes parked on Borges Lane and recognized it as a vehicle associated with reported burglaries in the Vallejo area, police said.

As the officer pulled up alongside the vehicle, he saw a pregnant Shanae Harston, 19, of Vallejo exit a home on the 100 block of Agnes Court. There was also a 16-year-old female inside the car, police said.

The officer recovered stolen property from Harston, who then began having contractions and had to be taken to the hospital, where she gave birth, police said.

The 16-year-old juvenile was arrested and booked into juvenile hall, but Harston was released pending prosecution due to her condition, police said.

Officers are continuing to investigate whether the teenagers had anything to do with other burglaries in the area, police said.

Police in Langley are investigating after a woman kicked a man in the groin so hard he lost a testicle — the latest in a series of similar assaults.

“I just want to know what her problem is,” victim Anthony Clark, 22, said this week. “People like her shouldn’t be on the streets.”

Mr. Clark was walking in the Brookswood area of Langley in early September when he passed his assailant on the sidewalk.

“I was looking down and then I took a passing glance and saw her walk up to me,” he said.

That’s when the young woman inexplicably kicked him in the groin hard enough to send one of his testicles into his abdomen.

Mr. Clark said he wasn’t aware of the severity of his injury until later that night when he “noticed something was missing.”

He consulted his doctor and a specialist, both of whom believed his testicle could be brought down again with surgery.

It wasn’t until he woke up afterwards that he discovered the doctors were wrong – the force of the assault had caused his testicle to rupture. It had to be removed and will be replaced by a prosthetic before Christmas.

“My doctors say I will still be able to have children,” Mr. Clark said. “But at 22 that’s not something I want a stranger, this woman, to decide.”

Embarrassed by the situation, Mr. Clark didn’t go to the police until nearly four weeks after the attack.

Constables have told him there have been three or four similar assaults on other men, Mr. Clark said.

Langley RCMP said they would like to speak to other victims, although there have been no official reported incidents, spokeswoman Const. Holly Marks said.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian woman, in her late teens or early 20s. She was between five-foot-five and five-foot-seven and 130 pounds with a slim build and brown hair.
