around 2.15am on Wednesday at their home in Beauvoir Drive,
Kemsley.
Police were called after a man was seen fleeing through a front
door, believed to have been running towards Edyngham Close.
The police helicopter was scrambled, as wells as a dog unit and
the suspect was found empty-handed in a bin (similar to the one
pictured left) behind a property in Gregory Close.
Residents living in the area posted messages on the Facebook
group ‘The Gossip Board’ about hearing officers on board the
chopper using a loud hailer telling the man to give himself up.
A searchlight was also said to have woken people.
