Man arrested following robbery at Shrewsbury home
Police have arrested a 34-year-old man on suspicion of robbery at a home in Shrewsbury.
The man was arrested at an address in Field Crescent at around 11.40pm last night, less than four hours after two men forced their way into a house in Crowmeole Drive.
A woman occupant was threatened and a quantity of money stolen before the men fled the premises. No-one was injured.
Detective Inspector Tom Harding said: “The robbery took place at around 8.15pm. We are appealing to anyone who may have spotted the men in the area at or around that time to contact Shrewsbury CID by calling 101.
“Officers attended the scene and initial inquiries resulted in one suspect being quickly arrested. He remains in custody at Shrewsbury police station.”
