TWO men and a woman have been arrested after officers found bags of stolen items worth around £3,000 in a car in Andover.
Just after 4pm on Thursday, March 14, officers from Andover’s Priority Crime Team noticed a man and a woman, who had just left The Range in Enham Arch Retail Park, acting suspiciously.
The two people were joined by a second man and all three were seen putting items into a parked car.
Officers pulled in front of the car and searched the vehicle.
