Teenagers arrested following Stiperstones crash
Three teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of theft and aggravated vehicle taking following a crash in South Shropshire.
Police were called to Pennerley, just outside Stiperstones village, just before 3am on Friday, following reports that a van had crashed and overturned.
On arrival, the driver and passengers had left the scene and it was established that the vehicle - a minibus - had been stolen from a company in Stiperstones that night.
A large amount of alcohol was also found in the minibus, which officers later traced to a theft at Stiperstones Stores that same night.
Following extensive enquiries, police arrested a teenage boy and a teenage girl on Tuesday and a second teenage boy on Wednesday; all three are from the Minsterley area.
Police Constable Nik Turner, who is investigating the incidents, appealed for anyone who might have seen a group of young people in the area, particularly in the Stiperstones area and on the road from Minsterley to Stiperstones, that night to get in touch on 101.
"All three youths arrested have been interviewed and released on conditional police bail while investigations continue," he added.
