Police in western England have recovered a cache of stolen property after being led to the hoard by a squirrel. "A 29-year-old man was arrested at 1:20 a.m. suspected of burglary," said a spokeswoman for Avon and Somerset Police. "When officers returned to the scene of the crime they were met by a secret squirrel," she added, reading from the casebook. "The squirrel indicated it wanted the officers to follow it by running a little, stopping and then looking back before continuing." It then climbed a tree, at the base of which officers found four boxes of stolen crockery. "We are not keen to highlight this," said the spokeswoman. "We never like to encourage vigilantes."
