A would-be burglar climbed down a grocery store chimney early Thursday and got wedged inside, authorities said.

Tony Esquilen, 23, of the Bronx, allegedly tried to slide down the chimney of a one-story building to enter Hetchans Grocery Store in the borough’s Norwood section.

Esquilen began yelling for help and a passer-by called police, a police spokesman said.
