Man bailed in connection with burglary/kidnap
A man who was arrested by police following a report of a burglary and kidnap of a girl in Sudbury has been released on bail.
The incident took place at around 8.15pm on Thursday, September 7, at an address on Hall Rise.
It is reported that an unknown man entered the rear of the property through the back door and encountered a young girl on her own in the kitchen.
He spoke to the girl before leading her out of the house into the back garden and then lifted her through an open window of the summer house, before fleeing the scene. The alarm was raised and the family, who were upstairs at the time, quickly found the girl.
The girl was not physically harmed but she and her family are being supported by specially trained officers.
A 28-year-old man was arrested on Sunday, September 10) on suspicion of burglary and kidnap. He was taken to Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre for questioning.
He has since been released on police bail, pending further enquiries to answer on Tuesday, October 3.
