They remain in custody.

“We are taking these incidents extremely seriously and detectives are working hard on the investigation.
“High-visibility patrols have been put in place in the areas affected and I’d urge anyone with concerns to speak to an officer.
“While we do not believe anyone has been injured, considerable damage has been caused to people’s homes and cars and these incidents will have caused distress.
“These arrests are an important development but we still want to hear from anyone with any information or relevant CCTV, doorbell, dashcam or mobile phone footage.”
