"At approximately 10.30am on Thursday we received a call from a resident in Kington St Michael reporting that a number of parcels delivered to his address had been stolen from his doorstep.
"A description of the suspect and his direction of travel were given to officers who attended alongside Police Dog Fozzy and a man was located in a lane nearby."
An iPad, two phones and parcels were also found in his possession which he could not account for.
