Ashford PCSOs recover stolen items

Stolen items from two Ashford stores were recovered thanks to work from the local Police Community Support Officers.

PCSOs Oli Welch and Luke Jones were patrolling on Wednesday 2 February 2022 when they stopped a suspected shoplifter who was trying to leave the store in Court Wurtin with more than £150 worth of goods.

While the suspect was being searched they also recovered meat that had been taken from a store in Kimberley Way, earlier that day.

A 42-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of theft from a shop by an attending officer and remains in custody.
