At 03:20am on Wednesday 8th August, Police arrested a 44 year old local man in Baldrine, Lonan as a result of reports that a male had been seen trying the doors of parked vehicles.

The arrested man has subsequently been charged with multiple offences of attempted theft, taking a vehicle without permission, going equipped to steal and other motoring offences. He will appear in Court on Thursday 27th.

Sgt Lund said: “The vehicles targeted were unlocked. If you live in the local area, can I ask you to check your vehicle – you may have items missing. If you have, please contact Ramsey Police station. Once again I would urge people to lock their doors. This simple precaution will deter the opportunist thief. ”
