An investigation was launched after Ring doorbell footage captured a lone person looking through windows and entering back gardens in recent weeks.
Multiple witness statements were obtained and a description of the offender was circulated to officers who patrol the area.
On Sunday evening (27 October), a plain clothes operation involving the Arboretum and Canning Circus beat teams led to officers spotting a man who matched the description and whose clothes also matched those seen in the doorbell footage.
