A Knowle woman who found burglars in her home managed to grab back her property from one of them. And police called in then chased and caught him.
Bristol Crown Court heard the Langham Road resident returned to her house and found an intruder leaving via the kitchen. After she called police Andrew Alford emerged from upstairs with a camera case around his neck and a large bag.
The court heard the householder reclaimed her property from him before he tried to flee over a garden wall. Police then arrived, gave chase and arrested him.
