Between 1am and 1.30am yesterday (Sunday), the burglar climbed over a wall into the garden of a home in Garfield Street, Kettering, and entered the garage, spilling a tin of white paint and stepping in it.

An unsuccessful attempt was then made to get into the back door of the house before the intruder was disturbed by an occupant and fled back over the wall.
