MONROE, Wash. —

Police in Monroe say a trail of pillows and backpacks led to two sleeping men who were arrested in a department store break-in.

Twenty-five-year-old Kyle Burress and 27-year-old Allen Pierce have been charged with charged with second-degree burglary.

Police spokeswoman Debbie Willis says a break-in was discovered July 9 at a Fred Meyer outlet on U.S. 2.

A surveillance videocamera showed two people going from one storage container to another, and police followed a trail of cardboard and items from the containers to Burress and Pierce - one sleeping in a stolen hammock and the other on a pile of stolen pillows.

Police took some photographs before waking and arresting the pair.

Willis says they apparently had been drinking and adds, "I'd say a lot of alcohol was involved."
