From Cambridge News

A Travellers’ site has been raided at dawn by dozens of police officers who are now holding two men in Cambridge in connection with a series of commercial burglaries.

The men, aged 24 and 44, were arrested in connection with burglaries at a golf club in Bourn and two convenience stores in Hardwick and Gamlingay, after a massive police operation at a Travellers’ site in Potton, Bedfordshire, today.

A total of 47 officers from across Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire forces were involved in the operation shortly after 6am.

The men were arrested in connection with a number of offences including four non-dwelling burglaries in the two counties, between August and November, where cigarettes and safes were targeted.

Two sheds containing cannabis plants were also discovered on the site. Officers seized more than 40 plants.

The men are currently in custody at Cambridge’s Parkside police station.
