Man from Birmingham arrested for theft in London Colney

A man in his 20s from Birmingham has been arrested after £1,800 worth of items were stolen from Boots in London Colney.

Following CCTV enquiries, our London Colney Neighbourhood Team identified and arrested the suspect in Birmingham last Thursday 11 June. The theft took place on Wednesday 25 March, with stolen fragrances and skincare later recovered by local officers in Ware from a vehicle linked to the incident.

The man has now been charged in connection with this offence, as well as a second theft in Birmingham, and is due to appear in court on Wednesday 15 July.

This action highlights the vital work of our neighbourhood policing teams during #NeighbourhoodPolicingWeek.

Our local teams are the ‘bobbies on the beat’ — providing a visible presence, working closely with communities, and tackling crime to keep our neighbourhoods safe.
