A burglary suspect was taken to hospital after he was detained in a ‘Citizen’s Arrest’ this morning (Tuesday, December 13).

Police were called to a shop in Blackpool Road where an intruder wearing a motorcycle helmet smashed a window and forced his way inside at 2.52am.

A member of the public living above the business was woken up by the commotion and bravely tackled the man and detained him until officers arrived and arrested him.
