“They are being held overnight and will appear in court today (Friday).
“We’ve said it before and we can’t say it enough - report suspicious activity. This incident was reported by numerous people which helped us figure out exactly who was involved. A lot of people looking out for their community ensured an overnight charge. Proof that reporting such activity does work in combating burglary.”
