Police arrest '˜lawyer' on suspicion of burglary
Police in Banbridge arrested a man who claimed to be a lawyer after they caught him breaking into a shed in the Limewood area in the early hours of this morning.
According to the post, the suspect told officers: “I’m a lawyer. This is my house, I’m just clearing out my shed, and you may get out of my garden if you don’t have a warrant.”
However, it added: “That would be all well and good, if he was a lawyer...or if it was his house...or if it wasn’t 5:30am...or if we needed a warrant...
“That was the situation that greeted E section in the early hours of this morning in Limewood.
“One straight into custody for burglary and attempted burglary.”
Thanking the “alert neighbours” who called police about the break-in, the post concluded: “It doesn’t come much easier than that! Keep the calls coming, and we’ll keep slapping the cuffs on.”
