There are a few things in this world worth getting in trouble with the law for, and ice lollies and beer are definitely two of them. Or so Justin Stansfield from Mirfield, UK, seems to think.

Thus, Mirror tells us that this 38-year-old man has recently been arrested after breaking into a garage and gulping down some ice lollies together with some booze.

What's bound to put a smile on people's face is the fact that, by the looks of it, Justin Stansfield removed his false teeth while ransacking 58-year-old Steven Pickles' garage fridge, and forgot to put them back on when he left.

Days after the burglary occurred, garage owner Steven Pickles found the false teeth lying on the ground, picked them up, and handed them over to police officers, who used them to track down the burglar.

“I reported it to police at the time and a few days later I went in the garage and found a set of false teeth down the side of the freezer,” Steven Pickles said in a statement.

Information shared with the public says that 38-year-old Justin Stansfield is a heroin addict, and that he only broke into the garage hoping to find some things he could steal and sell.

The man is now behind bars and should be released in about 16 months' time.
