Arrests made within minutes of Shrewsbury burglary
Two men were arrested on suspicion of burglary just 20 minutes after police were called to a business in Shrewsbury.
Officers arrived at the site of the alleged offence in Ennerdale Road within minutes of the call, made at 7.15am today.
A staff member reported he had seen two males in dark clothing leaving the office area and making off in a red car, before he discovered that cash had been stolen.
A search was carried out and observations put out for the vehicle, which was found by police on the A442 at Longden on Tern shortly after 7.30am.
Officers followed the suspects and stopped the car near the Shawbirch Island, where a 27-year-old man and a 30-year-old man, both from the West Midlands, were arrested on suspicion of burglary.
Both remain in police custody at this time and are due to be interviewed later today.
Police Sergeant Andy Jackson, of Shrewsbury Police Station, appealed for anyone who might have witnessed the incident or saw suspicious persons or vehicles in the Ennerdale Road area early this morning to get in touch.
“If anyone saw anyone or anything which looked out of place early this morning in the Ennerdale Road area, please contact police on 0300 333 3000,” he said.
