ATLANTIC COUNTY, N.J. — A car burglar in Atlantic County was caught Thursday night after he got locked in because of the vehicle’s faulty doors, officials said.

When officers arrived, they found Jeison Henriquez Sanchez inside the car.

Henriquez Sanchez, 19, of Pleasantville, was unable to flee because of the jammed doors before police let him out and arrested him.

He was charged with burglary and brought to the Atlantic County jail. Attorney information was not immediately available.
