Arrests made after Telford store targeted by burglars

Three men in Telford have today been arrested after Decathlon was broken into four times in the past month.

This comes after a store, based on the Forge Retail Park, was targeted by thieves on Thursday 2 May, Sunday 2 June, Friday 7 June and Tuesday 18 June.

Over the four occasions, items such as electric bikes, a kayak, camping equipment, clothing and tools were taken totalling between 15k and 30k.

Detective Sergeant Andrew Pond said: “After working with the store and gathering intelligence it has led to the successful arrests of the men who we believe are involved in the burglaries.

“I hope this sends a strong message that criminality will not be tolerated by West Mercia Police and we will seek to apprehend anyone involved in crime.”
