#ARREST | On Wednesday 27th May 2026 at around 19:05hrs we were called to the Texaco garage on Glascote Road following a report of shoplifting wherein the offenders had become violent towards staff.
Two males & a female had tried to take goods without offering payment and, when challenged by staff, became aggressive and used bricks & shopping baskets to attack the shopkeeper. The trio initially made off from the location with a number of bags of stolen items including alcohol & washing up tablets.
Officers made the location within minutes and located one of the male offenders. The second male offender made off on foot and fence-hopped through gardens, causing damage as he did so, and was eventually apprehended in Argyle Street.
The female was also located a short while later.
A 41-year-old male, 31-year-old male and 38-year old female were all arrested for shoplifting.
The 31-year-old male was further arrested for a number of other offences including criminal damage, assault and resist arrest.
The males have since been released on conditional bail. The female has been detained for court for other unrelated offences.
