Four men bailed by police after Coalpit Heath incident

Local police recovered a stolen van and arrested four people after an alarm went off in Coalpit Heath last Thursday (September 6th 2012).

The police were called at about 11.30pm by a householder who said they were alerted by an alarm and had seen people outside. Units who were patrolling the area responded immediately, supported by the force helicopter, and were already searching by the time of a further call reporting intruders in a nearby garden. Four men were later arrested on suspicion of burglary and further enquiries in the area led to the recovery of a van which had been stolen from Bradley Stoke in August.

Yesterday the men were released on bail pending further enquiries. Anyone with any information which could help the police can get in touch through their website or by ringing 101. Alternatively call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. They never ask your name or trace your call.
