Appeal for dashcam and information as five arrested in Scarborough

Earlier this week we arrested five people in connection with a spate of burglaries in the Scarborough area.

We are now appealing for more information particularly in relation to dashcam footage.

Two of the locations are positioned on a main road, and vehicles can been seen passing at the time of the burglaries.

We believe one of the businesses, Peaches ‘n’ Cream, at Peasholm Gap, Scarborough was burgled between 23:15 hours and 23:45 hours on the evening of the 22 of February 2025. We are appealing to anybody who was driving in this area at this time, with dashcam footage capabilities, to get in touch as this may provide vital evidence for the case quoting reference 12250033217.

We also believe one of the businesses, Harper’s Fish and Chips, Spital Road, Staxton was burgled around 02:00 hours on the morning of the 23 February 2025. We are again appealing to anybody who was driving in this area at this time, with dashcam footage capabilities, to get in touch as this may provide vital evidence for the case quoting reference 12250032653.

If you have dashcam footage, or any other relevant information to these or any of the other burglaries, please contact the officer in the case PC 1494 Rowan Haywood either via email at [email protected] or via 101 quoting the relevant reference number.

Alternatively you can report anonymous information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The arrested people include three men aged in their 30s and two women aged in their 20s. They have all been released on conditional police bail.
