TOPEKA, Kan. - Topeka police said a man who was trying to rob a discount cigarette store got stuck in a vent and had to be rescued by firefighters. Police said the man was stuck in a ventilation pipe for about three hours early Thursday. He eventually managed to call his daughter, who called 911.
Firefighters found the man head down in a ventilation pipe and pulled him out. He was taken to a Topeka hospital and will be charged after he is released.
