A 76-year-old man from Calne was cautioned after burgling a stable block in Savernake Forest.

The owner of the stable block, near Tottenham House, caught the suspect in the act on October 11 and reported him to police.

He was detained by Marlborough Neighbourhood Police and release with a caution, in line with the wishes of the victim, because he had no previous criminal history and all of the stolen items were recovered.
