A squirrel apparently broke into a B&Q DIY store and proceeded to steal bird food and nuts.

Norfolk Police were called out to the shop in Norwich on Saturday night when a burglar alarm was triggered.

They found the furry culprit inside the store, helping itself to nuts and bird seed, officers wrote on Twitter, external.

Despite having a full belly, the squirrel was still "too quick and nimble for us", and the thieving animal made a clean getaway, officers said.
