'Burglar' squirrel ransacks house

A family today told how they returned from a weekend away to find their house had been trashed by a berserk squirrel.

Retired engineer Alan White, 67, and his wife Janice, 65, came home to find their lounge ransacked, with thousands of pounds worth of damage.

The couple initially feared burglars had broken into their home in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, but the culprit was found to be a squirrel which had left sooty paw prints all over the room.

The trapped rodent had tried chewing through the window frames and tore the curtain and settee to shreds in a desperate bid to escape.
