THREE men and a teenager have been arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary after a 37-year-old had his car keys and mobile phone stolen.

The four men escaped in a silver Vauxhall Astra.

All of the man’s stolen items were recovered from the property and will be examined by forensics.
Detective inspector Rod Rose from Force CID said: “The swift actions of the victim and officers from across the force means that four suspected burglars are in custody this morning and all of the man’s property was recovered.”
