Appeal to identify owners of suspected stolen items following four arrests in Swindon

Four people were arrested in Swindon yesterday (20/2) after a large quantity of suspected stolen goods were located.

Shortly after 3pm, officers stopped a Volkswagen Golf near to Greenbridge due to reports the vehicle was linked to a series of thefts.

Inside the vehicle, thousands of pounds worth of items believed to have been stolen from various stores were located. Some of these have been returned to the owners however, we still have a large number of unaccounted for items which we would like to return to the owners/businesses.

They include:

- Two brand new SALTER grills

- Brand new GHD hair straighteners

- Brand new UV LED lights

- A large quantity of boxes of Ferrero Rocher

- A large quantity of miscellaneous high quality make and skin care.

If any store can account for these items or believe they may have been victim of a high value shop theft in recent days, please call 101 and quote 54240020248.

The people arrested on suspicion of theft – three women aged 15, 28 and 37, and a man aged 28, all from London, were taken to Gablecross custody.

The 15-year-old has since been released on bail, while the others remain in custody for further questioning.

Enquiries are ongoing.
