Police arrest man after ‘several’ reports of car doors tried across north Bristol

A man was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning (August 15) after a witness saw a person trying car doors in Cheswick Village.

It follows ‘several’ reports of car doors being tried at locations across South Gloucestershire and North Bristol, say Avon and Somerset Police.

Officers attended Cheswick Village and a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of vehicle interference, attempted theft from motor vehicle, going equipped to steal and burglary.

A police spokesperson said: “We’re always grateful when people take the trouble to call to report suspicious behaviour.

“Even if officers are unable to attend immediately due to other ongoing incidents, the information helps us build an intelligence picture and target patrols to disrupt offenders and prevent crime.

“If you have any information which could help this ongoing investigation, please call 101 quoting reference 5222195340.”
