"Local Neighbourhood and District Support Team officers were dealing with a few reports of shoplifting around Millennium Way.

"Believe it or not one of the suspects was described as wearing a clown mask.

"All goods were recovered as well as the clown mask.

"All three remain in custody awaiting interview. Stick to the circus work boys!"
