Police have arrested two people on suspicion of being involved in eight burglaries in York.
Officers received a report of a theft at an address on Ovington Terrace, South Bank, earlier this month.
An intruder entered the kitchen, stealing high-value items and a bank card, and also took a bike from the garage.
Later that same morning, the stolen bank card was used in the Londis on Bridge Street by two suspects.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Following our investigation, we arrested a man on Tuesday afternoon in connection with the burglary and on suspicion of fraud by false representation.
“He was further arrested for five other burglaries and two attempted burglaries that occurred around the same time in the local area.”
In these incidents, suspects gained entry to garden sheds, attempted to enter houses, damaged property, and stole bicycles and power tools.
The 21-year-old York man has been released on police bail, along with a 16-year-old boy who was also arrested in connection to the burglaries last week. The investigation is ongoing.
The spokesperson said: “We are appealing to the public for any information or doorbell camera footage that may have captured suspicious activity in the area on or around 2 June.”
