Arrest of Prolific Offender

Arrest of Prolific Offender

On Monday 9 November, a male wanted for 12 separate offences targeting retail premises was arrested after being identified by a vigilant PCSO using local intelligence.

When officers approached, the male attempted to evade arrest by making off on a bicycle, but was swiftly detained. He was charged this morning with all 12 offences.  The suspect has been remanded to court. 

A great example of effective use of local knowledge, proactive policing, and teamwork in bringing a prolific offender to justice and supporting our retail community
