Brentwood police are searching for a man who was found naked in a house he had broken in to in Hutton yesterday.
The man was discovered around 3pm in the home in Wainwright Avenue, and is wanted in connection with burglary at this time.
Several police units including a helicopter searched for him after he was discovered, but he remains at large.
