Police are investigating a series of thefts that have been reported in a Pembrokeshire village overnight (February 3).

People in the area near Haverfordwest have reported thefts from unattended motor vehicles, garden sheds and garages from the village of Spittal.

“Officers this morning arrested a 38-year-old man from outside the force area on suspicion of theft. He remains in police custody at this time,” said a spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police.

“We would like to appeal to the residents of the area to check their vehicles and outbuildings to ensure they have not been the subject of a theft.

“We would also like to hear from anybody who may have CCTV or doorbell footage of any suspicious activity overnight.”

Sgt Paul Boorman said: “Officers are investigating the matter and we have someone in custody.

“We would now like people to check if they have also had anything stolen.

“Now is a good time to remind people of the importance of securing outbuildings and to make sure that vehicles are locked.”
