Six teens in custody in connection with Harrogate burglary

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old were arrested within hours of the Harrogate householder reporting the crime yesterday (February 17).   They had also found the stolen car.

Four more suspects have been arrested, after another vehicle believed to be involved in the burglary was traced, pursued and stopped in a Bradford housing estate.  Inside were two men from the West Yorkshire city, both aged 19, who were both arrested.

Two more suspects both from Harrogate and aged 17, were arrested earlier today (February 18).

The burglary occurred in the early hours of yesterday morning, when raiders broke into the house and used keys found in the property to steal the owner’s car from outside the properly.

The same day, police traced the car and intercepted it in a Harrogate street. Two people ran away from it and after searching the area, officers found the 17-year-old and 18-year-old, who are from Bradford.

All six suspects were arrested on suspicion of burglary or theft or a combination of both and remain in police custody for questioning.
