PINKNEYS GREEN & FURZE PLATT:
26/8 Thursday 3 a.m. Hungerford Drive. The owner of a house heard scraping noises from outside their study window. They challenged a man they could see outside in their garden. The man said he was lost and was trying to cut through from Cookham to Maidenhead. He then left by unbolting high driveway gates. The police attended almost immediately and carried out an unsuccessful area search. The police found jemmy marks on the rear window and ripped wire netting around the garden where they presume he broke in. Footprints were found in the garden, which matched another on the lower panel of the back door
Neighbours also heard people outside running around at about that time. A man matching the very good description supplied has been arrested upon suspicion.
