A 23-YEAR-OLD Ongar man has been been arrested on suspicion of burglary after a break-in at a builders’ yard in Brentwood.

Police were called to the yard at about 11pm on Tuesday (January 12), after "suspicious activity" was reported at the site.

A police helicopter was hovering above the area for about half an hour, residents said.

A spokeswoman for Essex police said two men were arrested shortly afterwards in a nearby street.

A 44-year-old man from Walthamstow was also arrested at the scene.

Both have been remanded in custody.
