He said: '(The police) said, “do you mind us looking in the garden – because we believe that a man has been jumping into people's gardens”.
'We never get any trouble here usually.
'I thought I saw what looked like a police helicopter fly over. Second time the helicopter was flying over, I was to my missus, “something's going on”.'
