The incident occurred in a residential flat in Nottingham, where the suspect had managed to gain entry. Rather than making a swift getaway with valuables, the intruder made his way to the kitchen to prepare a snack, leading to his direct discovery and subsequent arrest.

An Unexpected Encounter

The residents returned to the flat only to hear noises coming from the kitchen area. Upon investigating, they were astonished to find an unknown man standing in their kitchen consuming a sandwich. Confronted by the occupants, the suspect remained on the premises long enough for police to be contacted.

Officers arrived at the scene shortly after the call was placed and took the suspect into custody without further incident. The intruder was arrested on suspicion of burglary. Police representatives remarked on the unusual nature of the crime, noting that while the circumstances were peculiar, housebreaking remains a serious offence with a significant impact on victims.

The suspect has been taken to a local police station for questioning as the investigation into the break-in continues.
