Two men arrested in connection with mobile phone and vehicle thefts in Cambridge
Suspected stolen bikes, a moped, and knives were recovered during police operations
Two men have been arrested in Cambridge following a series of mobile phone thefts and other crimes.
A police warrant was executed, leading to the arrest of a 20-year-old man on suspicion of various offences. These included theft from a person, robbery, theft of a motor vehicle, attempted theft of a motor vehicle, theft of a pedal cycle, possession of cannabis, and possession of an offensive weapon.
A second man, aged 33, was also arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and possession of an offensive weapon.
Both men have been bailed to return to Parkside Police Station on 16th February while the investigation continues.
During the operation, police seized suspected stolen goods, including e-bikes, pedal bikes, and a moped. Two zombie-style knives were also recovered.
Cambridge Police are advising people to take precautions to protect their mobile phones from theft.
They recommend keeping phones out of sight when not in use and being cautious when using them in public. It is safer to store phones in a zipped bag or pocket to keep them secure.
For iPhone users, police suggest disabling the control centre on their locked screen via phone settings to prevent thieves from easily putting the device in ‘aeroplane’ mode when stolen.
