TWO men from the Reading area have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in burglaries and robberies across the Wokingham borough.

A 37-year-old Reading man was arrested on April 25 in connection with recent burglaries in Lower Earley and Shinfield.

He was released on bail to return to Loddon Valley Police Station on June 14.

A 21-year-old man from Tilehurst and an 18-year-old man of no fixed address were arrested on April 21, after police stopped a car in Reading Road, Winnersh.

The pair were both arrested on suspicion of going equipped to commit burglary, and were released on bail to return to the same station on May 20.

Wokingham-based police officers also made four other burglary-related arrests that week.

Chief Inspector Denise Blackburn, Wokingham area commander, said: "These arrests represent part of the good police work taking place every week to disrupt and catch those responsible for committing these types of crime in our area.

"We will continue to drive policing activity at those we suspect are committing such crimes in the community of Wokingham.

"I would urge anyone who has information about people who are committing crime in this area to pass it on to police.

"They can do this either by contacting Thames Valley Police on 08458 505505, or, if you wish to remain anonymous, by contacting the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111."
