FLEET MAN AND SIX OTHER PEOPLE ARRESTED

A 66 year old man from Fleet in Hampshire was one of seven people arrested by Hart and Rushmoor’s High Harm Team over the weekend, in connection with theft offences.

Officers carrying out proactive patrols in Farnborough at approximately 2.15pm on Saturday 18th March spotted a man acting suspiciously in the car park behind the parade of shops on Whetstone Road. When officers began to approach the man, he dropped two bags that he had been carrying and ran off. After a short chase, he was detained and the bags were found to contain suspected stolen alcohol.
