WANTED Man Nabbed on Southampton Bar Roof
A 20-year-old wanted man was arrested after climbing onto the roof of a Southampton bar, sparking a police lockdown on Bedford Place and Carlton Place due to welfare concerns.
Run from the Law Ends on Roof
The man failed to attend a court hearing at North Hampshire Magistrates’ on January 28. Police also found him in possession of a bladed article during the arrest.
Still in Custody, Court Date Pending
He remains in police custody and is set to appear in court soon. Meanwhile, the XOXO Bar kept a cool head amid the chaos.
“Despite there being a criminal on our roof, on the run… we are open as usual (access via Lower Banister Street). Guess he wanted the best brunch in town before heading back to prison!”
Southampton locals can breathe easy—business is back to normal after a rooftop drama like no other.
