Drunk Irishman Breaks into Furniture Shop in Bulgaria to Take Nap on Sofa

An Irishman has broken into a furniture shop in Bulgaria's resort of Bansko on Sunday night just to have a nap on a sofa inside, Interior Ministry officials reported.

The violator has been found by the store's owner on Monday morning, who immediately signalled the police.

The foreigner, who was quite drunk at the time of the accident, confessed he thought the shop was his room.

The Irishman, whose name has not been revealed, said he remained very "surprised" to find the door locked and that is why he just broke it.

A lawyer took up the defence of the foreigner after he was seized for 24 hours in a local police station.
