Two thieves mysteriously fell asleep after they broke into an elderly woman’s house in Hammanskraal, Pretoria, South Africa.

The criminals were said to have broken into the woman’s house last Thursday April 14, and stole a plasma television, a microwave, shoes, and many other things out of the house. But on getting to the door that leads out of the compound, they mysteriously dozed off.

The elderly woman found them snoozing and alerted neighbours. The suspects continue to sleep even as the neighbours gathered and the woman explained what happened to them.

Policemen had been called but were yet to show up at the time of the recording of the thieves.

The mystery has stunned many people, with some attributing it to African magic.

However, some people opined that the suspects might have taken some substances that cause drowsiness before embarking on the robbery.
