<p>A bungling teenage burglar was caught shivering in a bush after leaving a trail of footprints in the snow.</p>
<p>The suspect was caught red-handed after a home-owner spotted him stealing a bicycle from his garage in Sutton, south London.</p>
<p>Police officers followed footprints and a cycle track through several residential streets before noticing that snow had been knocked off a bin as he jumped over it.</p>
<p>The freezing 17-year-old was found in a bush nearby and closer examination of his tracks found sheds in another street had also been targeted.</p>
<p>Snow has proved to be a seasonal gift for crimefighters in Sutton who performed a similar trick during a heavy fall in January last year.</p>
<p>Two teenage burglars were caught carrying a haul of electronic goods after raiding a garage in minus 10C (14F) temperatures and leaving evidence of their escape route.</p>
<p>Inspector Colin Baker, of Sutton Police, said: &#8220;This burglar left great big footprints for officers to follow so, despite the difficult weather conditions, officers were able to track him down, following the tracks in the snow.&#8221;</p>
<p>The break-in took place in Onslow Gardens and tracks were left in Avenue Road, Blenheim Gardens, Clyde Road and Ross Road.</p>
<p>The teenager was arrested on suspicion of burglary and released on bail pending further inquiries.</p>
