The 34-year-old Lithuanian man, from Ilford, Essex, was found "face-down in the dung" by officers after abandoning his van in Manton near Marlborough. [...]
According to a police spokesperson, the suspect had been hot from running and was easily detected on thermal imaging cameras hiding in a manure heap at Red Barn Farm at Manton.

The article says he got a caution. I wonder if that was because no-one wanted him in their police car?
