A MAN was arrested by police officers on patrol in Salisbury this morning (Sunday).

The suspect, in his 20s, was arrested on suspicion of burglary in the Old Sarum area and remains in custody in Swindon.

The incident unfolded at just after 10am, when PC Rachel Gunn and PCSO Jenny Moss were on patrol in Old Sarum, when they heard an alarm.
