Said Hassan, 39, broke into a house in Pontcanna Street, Cardiff, on Friday, February 7, along with an accomplice.

Police said the pair forced their way through the front door and began helping themselves to alcohol from the kitchen cupboards. However, their plans were foiled when the owners of the house caught them in the act and ordered them to leave.

A statement said Hassan then fled the property, but shortly after, returned to the scene to ask for some personal items he had left behind during his hurried exit. The surprised residents refused his request - by then, they had already called South Wales Police.
