Three arrests after BMW stolen from home

Three people have been arrested after a BMW car was stolen from a home in Acton Trussell.

We were called to an address near Cannock Road at about 1.35am on Sunday (5 January) to reports of a group of men who had smashed the window of the address and had taken the keys to a BMW X2.

The men got in the car and drove it away.

We sent officers to look for the car. It was spotted on Holdiford Road, Stafford. One of the men inside got out and ran to a Peugeot 208 that was parked up nearby. He got in the passenger seat and the driver made off.

The car didn’t get far and quickly stopped for officers.

A knife was found following a search of three people inside.

Three people were arrested:

• A 31-year-old man, from Shropshire, on suspicion of burglary and vehicle theft
• A 28-year-old man, from Birmingham, on suspicion of the same offences, as well as possessing a knife in a public place
• A 28-year-old woman, from Telford, on suspicion of burglary, vehicle theft and drug driving.

All three were questioned and bailed with condition while the investigation continues.

We’re being proactive in our fight against vehicle theft and are continuing to work hard with neighbouring forces to target those responsible, no matter where they go.
