Bormus team arrest two men following series of car thefts

The dedicated vehicle crime team have arrested two men following a series of thefts in Staffordshire.

Between January and April last year (2022), a number of cars were stolen from various addresses in Tamworth, Cannock and East Staffordshire.

We’ve been investigating these incidents, reviewing CCTV and completing inquiries ever since.

In the early hours of this morning (Tuesday 10 January), we arrested two men, aged 30 and 26, from Walsall, on suspicion of conspiring to steal a motor vehicle.

They both remain in custody while inquiries continue.

Detective Inspector Pete Cooke, from CID, said: “We were determined to start the new year as positively as possible and have managed to arrest six suspects already since the start of 2023.

“Whilst we’re happy with the progress which is being made, we’re still committed to tackling vehicle crime and will be working hard to keep achieving results in the near future.
