Leamington burglary suspect was chased down the street

When the occupier of an address in Tachbrook Road arrived home at around 8.30pm last night (Thursday), the house was in darkness, but he noticed a light was on in an upstairs room.

As he entered the house, which has a number of residents, a man walked past him who he did not recognise as living in the property.

Suspecting that the man had been in the room where he had seen the light, he chased him along Wise Street and into High Street, before losing sight of him near to the train station.

Police later arrested a 38-year old man in Clemens Street, Leamington. He was questioned in relation to the burglary and has been released on bail.

Anyone with information about the incident should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111, where the information can be given anonymously.
