[July 21, 2010]  LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) -- Police have arrested a man they say tried to use a hammer and chisel to break through the wall of a temp agency to commit a burglary.

Authorities arrested a 35-year-old man after he tried to chisel through the rear wall of the Labor Ready temp agency in Manheim Township. Police said an officer saw the man chiseling into the wall before fleeing on foot, leaving behind a basketball-sized hole in the brick. He was captured a short time later.

He was being held in lieu of $25,000 bail.
