Residents living in parts of the wider Bristol region were kept awake during the early hours of this morning (August 31) as a police helicopter circled homes. Locals living in Kingswood and Wick, and even further afield reported being awoken by the loud noise shortly after 1am this morning.
The helicopter reportedly circled Witcombe Close in Kingswood where police say suspicious activity was reported by a member of the public. It was linked to an earlier incident in the night reported in Wick.
It all started when a caller rang police after 1am to report that a van had been driven off from Oldbury Lane and that Wick Football Club had been broken into. According to Avon and Somerset Police, officers confirmed the football club had been burgled with damage caused and alcohol taken.
