A man is due to appear in court today following a string of overnight burglaries in Boroughbridge and Langthorpe this week.
Homes and businesses were targeted on Tuesday night in the early hours of yesterday morning. Boroughbridge Vets was among the businesses affected.
In one incident, a resident disrupted a man who had broken into his home.
North Yorkshire Police searched the area and arrested a man in his 30s from Leeds.
He was been charged with two burglaries, two attempted burglaries and theft from a shop.
He was remanded in custody and is due to appear at York Magistrates’ Court this morning.
Inspector Ed Rogerson, who covers the Boroughbridge area, said:
We’d like to thank the public, who’ve worked with us to secure charges against the suspect very promptly, less than 48 hours after these incidents happened. We know how upsetting it can be to be burgled or for these sort of crimes to happen in your community.
There’s been an increased police presence in the area, and our ongoing neighbourhood policing patrols will continue to cover this area to deter offenders and provide reassurance to residents.
