It was the return of the living dead — and dumb burglars.

Officers said a Florida man blamed zombies for reportedly breaking into a home twice in one night.

Patrick Ray, 31, was arrested early Thursday morning for burglarizing a home in Deltona, Florida, and allegedly stealing a number of belongings, including a pink selfie stick, wallet and car keys.

According to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, Ray was caught on surveillance cameras taking a house key from a vehicle parked in the driveway to enter the house.

The homeowner told deputies he woke up at 3 a.m. after hearing Ray going through his dresser drawers. He said Ray walked out of the home when he saw him, but then returned minutes later wearing a stolen coat.

Ray allegedly told the owner that there were “zombies trying to get him and he felt uncomfortable outside,” news station WKMG reported.

The owner called the police, and blocked Ray from leaving the home until they arrived.

Ray faces burglary charges and was booked at Volusia County Jail. He’s being held on $17,000 bail.
