Burglar with ‘poor aim’ identified after weeing on toilet seat and failing to clean up after himself
Swedish police posted an image of the soiled seat on Facebook with the message: 'Careful when you pee!'
A CLUMSY burglar has been identified by cops in Sweden after peeing on a toilet seat during a break-in.
The thief's lack of aim saw him traced after he foolishly splattered the loo with his DNA.
The police were called in when the flat owners arrived home to find it had been raided while they were out.
By the time the officers turned up at the scene the burglar was long gone, but he'd left cops something to go on.

"In the middle of the search for things to steal, it started to press his bladder and the thief had to visit the bathroom.
"In his eagerness to get his job done, he aimed crooked and hit the ring. "
Officers used the urine to match the suspect's DNA to an existing sample on their crime database.
It is not the first time police have been able to catch a burglar thanks to his toilet habits.
