He was asked to wait by the police but instead decided to flee the scene.

A police force spokesman said: “On asking the male to wait, he has decided he’d rather not, and has attempted to embrace his inner whippet.

“A bag of property has been obtained and the male will be looking to recharge his batteries in custody.”
