Nicklas Bendtner has explained that he received a police caution for criminal damage at his home at the weekend for breaking the lock on a gym door as he and his family and friends looked to indulge in a late night swim.

The Guardian reported this morning that the Danish striker was held by police on Monday about the incident but escaped arrest after detailing what happened.

To clarify the matter the 25-year-old striker also posted further details on his Instagram account.

Gotta love the superfluous details about changing into shorts and having towels…

Anyway, it’s not the first time Nicky B has landed himself in trouble with the authorities during his time at Arsenal. There was some naughtiness with Lee Cattermole while on loan at Sunderland (hanging out with such a ruffian usually punishable by beheading in our opinion) while he also got himself banned from driving in Denmark.

Let’s hope the man formally known as B52 enjoyed some ‘top bombing‘ for his troubles…
