Det Con Jared Yalden, of the Operation Fortitude team, said: “Burglary is a very distressing incident and leaves people feeling vulnerable within their own home.

“It is the role of Operation Fortitude to tackle these offences robustly and provide that reassurance by bringing those responsible to justice.

“This is another positive result for the recently formed team and officers have worked hard on this case since the incident occurred to charge and remand one suspect, secure these two arrests and our investigation remains ongoing.”
