Squirrel Sleuth Cracks Robbery  
June 1, 2002     LONDON (Reuters) - Police in the west of England said on Friday they had recovered a cache of stolen property having been led to the hoard -- by a squirrel.

"A 29 year old man was arrested at 1:20 a.m. suspected of burglary," a spokeswoman for Avon and Somerset Police told Reuters.

"When officers returned to the scene of the crime they were met by a secret squirrel," she added, reading from the case-book.

"The squirrel indicated it wanted the officers to follow it by running a little, stopping and then looking back before continuing."

She said it then climbed a tree, at the base of which officers found four boxes of stolen crockery.

"We are not keen to highlight this," said the spokeswoman. "We never like to encourage vigilantes."
