Garden Prowler.

At approximately 8.00am this morning (Monday 29th June), a man was seen in the rear garden of a house on Queensgate Drive, looking through the kitchen window.
It is believed he accessed the garden from the railway at the rear and left the same way.
If you see anyone in your rear garden, in obviously suspicious circumstances, you should ring the police using 999 immediately.
