Police are investigating a burglary where the intruder stopped to feed a cat.
Detective Inspector Nigel Oliver, from the priority crime unit based in Southsea, said: 'Feeding a cat during a burglary is not common at all. It may have been to keep the cat in a particular part of the house.'
The burglary happened between 2pm and 9pm on Sunday, March 22, in South Parade, Southsea. After feeding the homeowner's pet the raider stole a box of fireworks and left.
Det Insp Oliver said: 'The man was absolutely certain that the sachet of cat food had been opened for the cat and we're not exactly sure what the motive for that was, it's very unusual.
'You see films where a guard dog is slipped a bit of meat but this is unusual.
'Normally a burglar's intention is to get in and out as quickly as possible with property they can grab.'
