Martin Ayling of Elm Grove was arrested on suspicion of burglary after police were alerted to a break in at Southsea Beach Café.

Officers were called at 9.22am on December 14 to a report that someone had gained entry to the café premises overnight - between 1.45 and 2am - and taken four bottles of alcohol.
