Three men were arrested after stealing a laptop worth thousands of pounds from the Apple iStore on James Street in Harrogate.

Officers were called at 4pm yesterday after two men entered the shop and left with a MacBook Pro worth £1,899 making no attempt to pay.

Owners of the store reported to police that the men had left the area in a car.

North Yorkshire Police used CCTV to search for the car and the men were arrested on the outskirts of York just before 4.45pm, less than 45 minutes after from the initial report.

Two men, one aged 18 and another aged 20, were arrested on suspicion of theft and electrical items that were believed to be stolen were recovered.

Both were charged with theft and the driver was also charged for driving without insurance.

A third man was released without charge.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said: 

“This is a great result, the speedy work of our officers on the ground has resulted in us returning this high-value item back to the shop.
“As we enter the Christmas period, we often see an increase in retail theft. I would urge all shop owners and members of the public who are out shopping to be vigilant and to alert police to any suspicious activity.”
