Two men have been arrested after two vans were stolen from properties in Warwick and Kenilworth.

The first incident happened at a property on Exham Close sometime between 5pm on Saturday (27 May) and 6am on Sunday (28 May). A white Ford Transit van was taken.

A second Ford Transit van was then stolen from a house on Mortimer Lane.

Investigations began and a 36-year-old man from Birmingham was arrested on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle.

Subsequent enquiries led officers to arrest a 25-year-old man from Birmingham on Monday (5 June) on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle.

Both men have been released on bail pending further enquiries.

PC Max Jordan said: "Through the proactive work of our Patrol Investigation Unit and great intelligence, we were able to make two arrests in connection with the thefts.

"We're keen to tackle vehicle and inquisitive crime and we will be fully investigating these incidents to try and get a positive outcome for the victims.
