Wine-gulping burglars get 4 months each in jail

Two burglars who were arrested after they got drunk and dozed off in the house they broke into in April were each sentenced to four months in prison last week.

In the wee hours of April 7, Zeng and Lai, both in their 20s, broke into a house in Yongjia, Zhejiang province, and were only too happy to find some American dollars and an expensive bottle of red wine.
