    Further enquiries showed he was also wanted by police in connection with burglaries and he had only just been released from prison.

    "The two officers who dealt with this incident were able to apprehend a suspect very quickly and a full investigation is now under way.
    "Anyone who has had items stolen from their vehicle, or has seen anyone acting suspiciously or trying door handles, should contact us on 101. If you witness a crime taking place, it's 999."
