Three men have been charged with theft after their van was spotted by police driving around the Yorkshire Coast.
On Thursday 15 February, scrap metal with a value of about £1,000 was stolen from a garden in Seamer, Scarborough. But the incident was captured on CCTV, and vigilant residents reported details of a van that may have been involved to North Yorkshire Police.
Enquiries were underway, when yesterday, officers noticed the same van in Whitby.
Three men in the van – aged in their 20s and 30s, all from Bradford – were arrested.
They have now been charged with theft and are due to appear at Scarborough Magistrates Court next month.
