Always nice catching a suspected burglar! Confirmed break in – officers quickly contain an area and locate a male hiding behind a shed. Property also recovered close by… Great teamwork by all involved. #TeamNYP

At 4.15am, a 31-year-old man was found by police in a garden nearby. He was arrested on suspicion of burglary, and taken to custody, where he remains at this time.
A large amount of suspected stolen tobacco products were recovered in the garden.
The same store was targeted on May 23. Burglars smashed their way in and attempted to steal from the cash machine.
