Police in a town in Northern Ireland have arrested a man who claimed to be a 'lawyer' after they caught him breaking into a shed in the early hours of Saturday.
When police confronted the "owner" of a house in Banbridge town, they did not receive a warm welcome.
The man told police that he was a lawyer and was just clearing out his shed before telling police to "get out of my garden if you don't have a warrant".
In a Facebook post, Police in Banbridge said: "That would be well and good, if he was a lawyer or if it was his house or if it wasn't 05:30am or if we needed a warrant".
The man was arrested by officers from E section for questioning about burglary and attempted burglary.
"A big shout out to the alert neighbours who phoned us to make us aware," the Facebook posted added, "It doesn't come much easier than that! Keep the calls coming, and we'll keep slapping the cuffs on".
