The incident took place in the early hours of the morning in the Costa Ayala area, where officers from the Local Police force responded to an alert.
On their official Twitter profile, they explained: "The burglar fled, only to be caught by officers and some residents when he came back to the scene of the crime to retrieve his forgotten backpack and personal items."
