As we continue with our news for today, we come across a rather shocking incident caught on CCTV footage. It shows a burglar, Stephen Clark, being caught red-handed by the police while trying to hide behind a counter in a nearby restaurant. The 49-year-old was quickly tracked down by the officers after he had targeted not just one, but two restaurants in the town center within just half an hour.
The footage begins by showing Clark smashing the glass door of Budare, a restaurant located in Sevenoaks, Kent. It is followed by a police officer stepping in and shouting for anyone inside to come out and reveal themselves. And sure enough, their search leads them to Clark, who had been cowering behind the counter. But before they could even reach him, Clark attempts to escape, only to be tackled to the ground by two officers.
Subsequently, Clark was arrested and charged with two counts of burglary. He was also remanded in custody. Three days later, on June 3, he appeared at Sevenoaks Magistrates' Court for a hearing, where he was sentenced to 12 months in prison. Speaking about the incident, Police Sergeant James Page expressed his gratitude towards the officers who quickly responded to the emergency call and were able to arrest Clark without delay.
He further added that Clark's actions had caused significant damage to the two restaurants and had also caused inconvenience and financial stress for the owners. He credited the quick teamwork of the officers for ensuring that Clark, who has had a history of similar offenses, did not get away with his crimes this time. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of swift and efficient response from our police force in keeping our communities safe.
