Burglar Breaks Into Escape Room, Calls 911 When He Can’t Escape

VANCOUVER, Wash. (WJZ) – Police say a burglar in Washington state got more than he bargained for when he broke into an “escape room” and ironically couldn’t escape.

“Once we got down there [to the business] and realized the damage was minimal, we just thought it was hilarious,” Rob Bertrand told CNN.

Bertrand owns NW Escape Experience: an entertainment center in Vancouver that challenges groups to work together, find clues and solve puzzles in order to escape the cleverly-designed rooms. The escape rooms proved to be too much for the intruder, who actually called 911 to help free him.
