Four arrested after Shrewsbury shop burglary
Four men are in custody in Shrewsbury this morning after they were arrested in the town in the early hours of this morning.
At just before 1.50am, police responded to a call stating that a car was on fire in Falcons Way.
Having responded to the call, officers arriving at the scene quickly arrested four men who were found nearby.
Police are now investigating possible links between this car fire and a break-in that occurred at a shop in The Square in Shrewsbury town centre just over half an hour earlier at 1.20am.
The men in custody – who are aged 20, 29, 31 and 37 – have been arrested on suspicion of burglary and are now expected to be questioned by officers during the course of the day.
