Two arrests after vehicle tool theft
Two men have been arrested after tools were stolen from a vehicle in Long Marston, on the edge of the Harrogate district.
North Yorkshire Police said in a statement today it was alerted to the theft of "high value" tools from a parked van in the early hours of Friday (January 17).
The statement added checks on local security cameras identified a vehicle that may have been linked to the theft.
At 12.15pm that day officers stopped a black BMW 3 Series on the A614 towards Snaith, near Goole.
Police searched the vehicle and discovered a box containing the suspected stolen tools.
The two men in the vehicle, both in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle, and one on suspicion of going equipped for theft.
They were taken into custody and bailed while enquiries continue.
The tools will be returned to their owner, the statement said.
