AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A hungry Dutch burglar was caught frying a fish on the job after the smell of his cooking woke up the householder, police said Monday.

"The man was casually frying up a fish. The householder who was asleep in the attic was woken up by the smell. When she went to investigate she found the man standing at the oven," Marieke Schoneveld, a police spokeswoman, said.

The 45-year-old intruder, who had also smoked a cigarette, told police he had a penchant for fish and had taken a cold beer from the fridge to complement his meal. He had loaded up his bag with other drinks, but had not stolen anything else.
