Australian police responding to a break-in at a furniture store were surprised to discover the suspected culprit asleep at the scene after the man's snoring gave away his hiding place.

Police arrived at the furniture store in the central Australian town of Alice Springs on Saturday night to find the glass front door smashed.

"On walking through the store police thought the offender had fled until they heard snoring coming from the carpet racks. When they climbed up they found the 25-year-old asleep on the carpet underlay and snoring," police said in a statement.

The man was arrested and charged with unlawfully entering a building with intent to commit a crime and stealing.
