about 5.30 this evening, police were called to my neighbour's house in Palmerston Road after he apprehended someone jumping over our garden gate in an effort to make his escape from a suspected burglary.

Although he ran off, our neighbour recovered a dell laptop and a bag containing some clothes. Nobody has reported anything close to us and it may be that he came across from the direction of the allotments by Marlborough Road. What is certain is that he climbed over the fence of the bungalow adjacent to them and then over our garden gate. He was chased down Myddleton Road and was last seen heading for Green Lanes.

Police advise anyone with information to call 101. I will post the Crime reference number when I have it.
