Police are appealing for help to trace a burglar who broke into a Seaton home and left behind their own belongings - a distinctive woolly hat and a sandwich.
The offender got into the house through an insecure door sometime between 11pm on Good Friday and 8.30am on Saturday [27 March].
Once inside the offender stole a silver iPad Air and a pair of new Vans trainers from their box.
However the occupants were left puzzled after the offender left behind some of their own belongings - including a Tesco tortilla wrap sandwich still in its packaging.
