At around 2.30am on Sunday 3 October, a local police dog handler, PC Glenn Myerscough, was on foot patrol with his police dog, Dexter, on Durham Street, Barrow.
PC Myerscough came across a male acting suspiciously and when he challenged him, the male tried to run off but was subsequently pursued and detained by PC Myerscough and Dexter.
The 17 year old male from Barrow was located and arrested. After locating property on him at the time of arrest, police officers discovered that an insecure house on Marsden Street had just been subject to a burglary. He was later charged with committing this burglary and is due to appear in Furness Youth Court on 22 October 2010.
Barrow police are reminding householders to secure their homes by locking doors and windows and removing valuables from sight – lock it or lose it.
