Michal B. is facing up to 10 years in prison for the theft of two packet soups and some washing up liquid. Michal B. of Kolsko clearly felt hungry on the evening of 6th January, and so he purportedly cut a window pane out of a family house in Konotop, in the district of Nowy Sol. He squirmed in and helped himself to two packs of soup - a goulash with noodles and a tomato soup with rice. On his way out, he is accused of helping himself to a bottle of washing-up liquid. The stolen items are estimated to come to a value of PLN 30.

Police soon identified the culprit and arrested him a few days after the burglary on January 10th. By then, he had managed to consume both soups and use up all the washing-up liquid. He has been charged with theft and burglary.
