Police in Portsmouth are making an appeal after an arrest was made following a report of two youths having been seen climbing the wall from a property and then walking up Haslemere Road.
At 1.10am on Friday, August 29 the call was made by a member of the public, and officers in the area stopped a youth nearby who fit one of the descriptions given, and arrested him on suspicion of burglary.
 The youth had a toolbox and a hammer in his possession, which he was unable to account for.
A 16-year-old boy from Landport was arrested and has been released on police bail until September 4.
Officers are now releasing photographs of the hammer and toolbox and making an appeal to the public.
Detective Constable Colin McGregor said, "We are appealing for any other witnesses of these two youths in or around Haslemere Road or Highland Terrace in the early hours of Friday morning, or to anyone who may recognise the toolbox or hammer. If you think you may know where they have come from please contact police as soon as possible."
