Sheffield North West Neighbourhood Policing Team serving Walkley, Hillsborough and Upperthorpe said a male was arrested for a number of offences after local residents reported occupants of a Silver Nissan Micra acted suspiciously.

In a Facebook post, Sergeant Simon Kirkham said the vehicle was seen going down driveways then running away back to the vehicle before speeding away.

The vehicle was reported on a number of occasions in suspicious circumstances.

"The vehicle was recovered. PC Ben Howell and PC Darcy Hope made the arrest today. Case building and further enquiries continue,” they said.

In a separate incident, the police responded to reports of a male spotted in Walkley dressed in dark clothing going into gardens.
