Police have closed an 'attempted burglary' case after releasing an image of a potential suspect that turned out to be a tradesman, who had gone to the wrong house in Northampton.

Officers released doorbell footage of a man, who had allegedly tried to gain access to a property in Clare Street on the morning of Thursday, September 9.

Police, at the time, wanted to speak to the man in connection with an 'unsuccessful' burglary and released his image earlier this week on Wednesday, September 15.

"Thanks to his engagement we can now be satisfied that no crime has taken place and the case has been closed."
