A man was arrested for burglary after trying to escape from the roof of a block of flats.
There was a heavy police presence on the corner of High Street and St James’s Street from about 5pm on Saturday as a cordon was put around the area.
Officers sent several hours trying to get the man to come down safely.
But late in the evening, the 29-year-old man tried to make off.
He was then arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, and of a burglary at an address in Lower Rock Gardens earlier that day.
He has now been released on conditional police bail.
