Three people were arrested in the early hours of this morning in connection with the theft of a vehicle.
Officers sighted a vehicle believed to be travelling on cloned plates on the A4 heading towards Box shortly after 3am today.
The vehicle, which had been stolen from the Avon and Somerset area, was stopped near Westwells Road and three men were seen to decamp.
The three, who are aged in their late teens, were all arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and taken to custody.
Det Sgt Ted Roe from our Burglary Team said: “These arrests came about as a result of some excellent proactive work by our Neigbourhood officers and some great team work by our Roads Policing Unit and Armed Response officers who worked together to successfully safely stop the vehicle and arrest three suspects.”
