The show aired CCTV images of the two men on Wednesday, July 4.

The Crimewatch appeal to identify the two men who entered a house fitted with a SmartWater alarm and spray system as well as CCTV cameras, led to new lines of enquiry for the police and the men were arrested on the same day.

The two are both from Rotherham and aged 24 and 25. They have been charged with burglary and bailed to appear at Rotherham Magistrates' Court on Monday, July 23.
