A 46-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of a burglary at a home in Sherston.
Officers from Wiltshire North Community Policing Team 4 attended the home address of the man in Tetbury at 4.30am this morning to make the arrest.
At approximately 12.15pm on 11 May, a house in Court Street, Sherston, was broken into and an untidy search was carried out inside all the bedrooms.
Jewellery was taken from a bedside drawer and a television was stolen from the living room which has since been recovered.
Enquiries were carried out and detailed witness statements were obtained which led officers to make the arrest today. He was taken to custody at Gablecross where he currently remains.
Sgt Louis McCoy said: “We’d like to thank the members of the public who helped provide us with detailed descriptions of the suspect. The Community Policing Team have been carrying out enquiries and a successful arrest attempt was made this morning.
“We understand the impact burglaries can have on victims and we would encourage residents to be mindful of their home security. I’d also encourage members of our local community to be vigilant and look out for suspicious behaviour in their neighbourhood. Report anything suspicious via 101, or 999 in an emergency or if a crime is in progress.”
