Two men accidentally called 911 while burglarising a manufacturing business in North Carolina, police said.

A dispatcher with the Monroe Police Department picked up the call at around 3.30am on May 17 and at first thought the caller was “in distress,” according to a post on the police department’s Facebook page. Officers were dispatched to the manufacturing store where the call originated.
