HOUSTON -- A burglar was found hiding inside an air conditioning unit Monday, officials told KPRC Local 2.
Houston police responded to a burglar alarm at a shopping center in the 9500 block of Mesa Drive near Tidwell Road at about 1 a.m.
Officials did not find anything during their initial investigation. Officers later spotted a man on top of the building.
A ladder truck was brought in to get officers to the roof.
"My partner and I climbed up the ladder and searched the top of the roof," Officer John Dickerson said. "We found the suspect hiding inside an air conditioning unit."
Officials said copper wire had been stripped out of several other units at the shopping center.
The man, believed to be in his 30s or 40s, was arrested.
