Two shoplifters have been arrested in separate incidents in Scarborough.
The arrests were made on Wednesday, the first was just after midday when PC Patrick from Scarborough’s Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) arrested a man, suspected of stealing an item from B&M in the Balmoral Centre on Westborough for a shop theft. The item was also recovered. A 36-year-old man is due to be charged to attend court soon.
Just after 5pm, CCTV operators reported a known male to have committed a shop theft and reported he was running from a store on Newborough. Officers from NPT six and Response Team three, were on scene quickly and a 44-year-old man was arrested further down the road.
Another retail premise also reported a theft by the same suspect, and he is now currently in custody for both thefts and damage to a police van.
PC Begin, a Neighbourhood Policing constable for the town centre said
“We are working with our retail businesses to apprehend thieves who target our shops. We have dedicated officers who work with the anti-theft group to prevent theft and deter criminality in our town. We want our town to be a safer place to visit.”
