DARLINGTON, S.C. - South Carolina police say they caught a would-be burglar in the buff.

Officers say 22-year-old Michael Gilbert then dropped from the ceiling and tried to open the front door and leave.

Investigators think Gilbert took off his clothes so he could fit through an air vent on the roof.

He has been charged with burglary.

Police say Gilbert was wasting his time — the cash advance business doesn’t keep money on the premises.
