Two burglary suspects arrested after spate of break-ins across York

Two men are currently in custody in connection with a string of burglaries in York.

Officers investigating a spate of 2-in-1 burglaries – when thieves break into a house then steal car keys and a car – made the arrests yesterday afternoon.

The break-ins began in homes in the west of the city but other areas have been targeted.

The men, who are both local and in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of dwelling burglary and remain in custody this morning.
