Fox trashes pub after falling down chimney

A fox trashed a pub after falling down its chimney.

''He seemed quite happy in the pub. It didn't want to leave but we got him out.''

Staff at The Beehive pub in Swindon, South West England, feared a burglar had broken in and helped himself to snacks from behind the bar until they came across the animal cowering under a seat.

Bartender Tim Carter told ITV News: ''We found a bit of damage when we came in and found the culprit under the bench.

''We think he came through the chimney. There is a lot of soot around it and footprints.

''The damage was nothing major, just a few little things.

He added: ''He seemed quite happy in the pub. It didn't want to leave but we got him out.''
