Suspects Tasered in Scarborough Ram-Raid Arrests

Monday, 7 March 2022 14:53

Firearms Support Unit officers were in the right place at the right time.

Police in Scarborough have arrested two local men involved in a ram-raid incident at the Spar shop on Falsgrave Road.

It happened at around 2.15am this morning – Monday 7 March 2022 – when a silver VW Golf car was reversed into the front of the premises.

Unfortunately for the suspects, officers from the Firearms Support Unit were patrolling nearby and they arrived while the incident was ongoing.

The men, aged 50 and 42, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of burglary after being tasered.

They're being held in custody for questioning while enquiries are ongoing in and around the shop.

Witnesses or anyone with information that could assist the investigation should contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 1, and speak to the Force Control Room.

If you would prefer to remain anonymous, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Please quote reference number 12220039336 when providing details.
