In the early hours of the morning in Bideford, north Devon, a burglar's attempt to rob a Morrisons store in the town centre took an unexpected turn. Fortunately, a vigilant security guard was on duty and quickly sprang into action when he heard the commotion.
As the burglar broke through the door and climbed inside, his accomplice kept watch nearby. However, their plan was foiled when the security guard noticed their activity. In one swift move, the guard took down the burglar who emerged from the windows, and the two engaged in a struggle on the ground.
During the scuffle, the burglar dropped the stolen goods and made a run for it, but not without leaving a shoe behind - a fittingly shady Cinderella moment. The incident was captured on camera, showing the brave security guard's heroic actions.
Thankfully, the police were called and arrived at the scene promptly. They were able to track down the suspect and a 31-year-old man from Bideford was arrested on suspicion of burglary. He has since been released on police bail as the investigation continues.
The incident, which occurred on Sunday, August 11, has left the community in shock. The local police force has released a statement, stating that they were alerted to the break-in at around 3am. It was reported that the burglar had forced entry into the store and fled when he saw the security guard approaching. A quantity of alcohol was reported to have been stolen.
As the investigation continues, the community is grateful for the swift actions of the security guard who prevented the burglary from being successful. It serves as a reminder for businesses to remain vigilant and for criminals to think twice before attempting such crimes.
