DEAFENING music in the early hours led residents in a Lugo apartment block to calling the police, and they had some choice words to say about the owner of the home it was coming from.
But they were surprised to hear who the real culprit behind their sleepless night was.

Local Police were summoned in the small hours of Saturday by furious occupants in the Ronda das Fontiñas block in the Galicia city, who complained one of their neighbours had his stereo on full volume.
Officers went round, expecting to have to break up a party and dish out fines, but nobody appeared to be at home.
They investigated as far as they could, and confirmed the apartment was empty.
Or so they thought.
At first light, they managed to trace the owner, who was out of town, and spoke to him.
It turned out his cat had turned on the stereo while he was away.
According to the shameless fluffball's dad, the pussycat has a habit of switching on the music with his paw and then playing with the volume dial.
It seemed he had pawed at it until it went up to full whack, a decibel level that stopped the entire block from getting any sleep.
Concerned his furry friend might do it again and upset the neighbours, the owner returned straight home.
ELEPHANTS being born in the middle of Spain's third-largest city is not something that happens every day. In fact, until this month, it had never happened before.
