A naked man has been arrested for burglary after police said they caught him doing laundry in a home he entered through a dog flap.

Officers alleged that Jarred Lemming, 28, broke into the property in Woodstock, Georgia, to use the owner's shower and Wi-Fi connection.

Cherokee County Deputy Sheriff Joshua Watkins told local media the suspect was still inside the home when they arrived at the scene.

When officers asked Mr Lemming why he was naked, he allegedly told them he wanted to wash his clothes because they smelled of petrol.

He initially told police he knew the owner but didn't notify him because he "did not want to bother him", Deputy Watkins said.

On why he used the Wi-Fi, police said Lemming said he needed to send out invoices.

The owner did confirm Lemming used to live with him, but said he did not have permission to enter the property since moving out last year, the Cherokee Tribune reported.

Lemming has been charged with first degree burglary and is being held without bond at Cherokee County Adult Detention Centre.
