ONE man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary after a manhunt in Bournemouth this morning.

Dorset Police were assisted by the NPAS helicopter crew to locate a man who was found allegedly breaking into a property.

It is understood that he was scared off by a member of the public and fled the scene.

A police spokesman said: “We were called at 5.03am this morning to reports of an attempted break-in to a property along Cranborne Road.

“It is alleged the intruder was challenged by a member of the public and made off.

“With support from NPAS one man was located and arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary and is currently assisting police with their enquiries.”

A 38-year-old man from Southampton is currently in custody.
