A man has been charged with attempted murder, following his arrest by Warwickshire Police yesterday.

James Galbraith, 28, from Limerick in Ireland, was charged with attempted murder and threats to kill following a significant, pre-planned operation at Woodside Park near Ryton on Dunsmore.

Galbraith will appear before Warwick Crown Court on 20 June.

Several other suspects have been remanded in custody, while others have been transferred to immigration for offences.

More than 100 officers entered the site just after 5.30am on the morning of 22 May, making eight arrests, seizing six vehicles and suspected stolen property together with thousands of pounds in cash.

Warwickshire Police also arrested 44-year-old John Brown, from Woodside Park, for failing to appear in court for drug driving offences and 52-year-old Andrew Poyser from Belmont Road in Coventry for failing to appear in court for a case of grievous bodily harm.

Both have been remanded in custody.

A 30-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy have been released on bail while enquiries continue after being arrested on suspicion of theft as part of an investigation into shop thefts totalling around £25k of goods stolen.
