Police have made two arrests as they continue with their crackdown on crime at Victoria Retail Park in Netherfield.

Officers say the initiative has been launched after a spate of thefts at the shopping area since coronavirus restrictions were lifted.

Yesterday, police officers spotted a suspicious vehicle on the retail park containing two men and a woman. They noticed that the car contained wine and gin which they suspected had been stolen from one of the nearby shops.
