Talking up the story, Warwickshire Police said: "We arrived there to find a man who matched the description, though for some reason he didn't seem to want to stop and chat.
"A short foot chase ensued and the gentleman hopped over a fence onto Avonbrook Close.
"Sadly, there was some damage done to the fence but not by us. We are pleased to report that our fence-hopping technique is flawless. (In Hot Fuzz terms, think Simon Pegg rather than Nick Frost.)
"The chase came to a swift end and the man was detained.
