'a case of housebreaking' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'unruly ant flew out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'unruly'+'ant'+'flew'='unrulyantflew'
'unrulyantflew' with letters rearranged gives 'UNLAWFUL ENTRY'.

'in' is the link.
