dangerous dog. Two men were arrested on suspicion of theft
and handling stolen goods and a further two were arrested on suspicion of immigration offences. Chief Inspector Dean Patient said: ―Metal theft
continues to pose a significant problem across the county and we‘re committed to tackling the issue using all our resources. ―I‘d like to thank those business owners on the
site for supporting the police activity whilst we were there. The majority of businesses on the site are legitimate, however this hopefully sends a message that there are no places in the county we won‘t go to in order to trace those who may be engaging in criminal activity.‖
