Man arrested after police raid Travellers campsite in West Berkshire

From Get Reading

A 27-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested after police raided a Travellers site in West Berkshire on Tuesday.

Officers swopped down on caravan site at Four Houses Corner outside Burghfield Common and seized a jet ski, tools and farming equipment which they believe to be stolen.

The man was quizzed on suspicion of a burglary that took place between midnight and 2.45am at the Benham Valence Estate in Speen and was bailed until Tuesday, January 14.

Detective Inspector Claire Knibbs said the joint operation by officers from West Berkshire and the South and Vale area was a tremendous success and added: “We recovered a significant amount of high value goods we believe to be stolen.

“This operation shows our continuous commitment to deal robustly with those that chose to commit burglary offences in our area.”

Police are now looking to find the rightful owners of the property and are asking people who recognise the goods to call 101.
