It is a breakthrough tactic.
A West Virginia man dug a tunnel to break into a pair of businesses over the weekend in what local police are calling “The Shawshank Burglary.”
Deputies from the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office responded to a business alarm going off at Auto Chief in Fredericksburg around 10:40 a.m. on Sunday.
They found signs of a break-in at the used car dealership and its next-door rival, Car Plug — as well as the alleged thief, who identified himself as Jerrylee Adams, the sheriff’s office said.
Adams, 35, told officers he was an employee at Auto Chiefs who was there to do drywall work and then planned to buy a vehicle next door. However, both businesses said they did not know who he was and he was detained while police investigated further.

Police discovered that Adams tried to break into the front door of Chief Auto with a bar, but abandoned the attempt after he was unable to get inside.
He then entered the building through a broken garage panel, then tunneled through the wall to the adjacent Carplug.
There he seized vehicle keys, a company hat and a company pen that he told deputies he planned to use to leave notes at businesses telling them he was only taking the vehicle on a “test drive.”

En route to retrieve the car, deputies contacted Adams and found the loot on his person, police said.
“Not like Andy Dunfresne, Adam[s] won’t be able to escape this,” the sheriff’s office said, referring to Tim Robbins’ character who escaped from prison through a tunnel dug over 20 years in the 1994 drama, “The Shawshank Redemption.”
Adams was charged with two counts of statutory burglary, attempted grand larceny, robbery, possession of burglary tools and two counts of destruction of property.
He is being held in the Rappahannock County Jail without bond following a “contentious” hearing, police said.

The bizarre tunnel theft came as the NYPD clashed with angry Orthodox Jewish students from the Chabad-Lubavitch sect in Brooklyn as officers tried to seal off the 50-foot-long tunnel.
Young rebels have been working in tunnels for years under the cult’s historic world headquarters in Crown Heights to force the establishment to expand on the neighboring wasteland the tunnel leads to.
