He was discovered near a number of suspected stolen items during the investigation in Dover.

Officers have been looking into reports that around 16 sheds were broken into in Durham Close between Thursday, March 31 and Saturday, April 2.

Automotive tools, a blue trolley jack in a black plastic case, and a 2ft high dark teak wooden clock are among the items reported stolen.

Also in the shed were items including hockey sticks, a crowbar and tools believed to have been stolen.

A 33-year-old man of no fixed address was arrested on suspicion of burglary and taken into custody where he currently remains while inquiries continue.
