POLICE have arrested three people in Westcliff on suspicion of theft and other offences after a member of the public reported their mobile phone had been stolen from their car.

Police were alerted to the theft and worked to trace potential suspects to the Preston Road area of Westcliff shortly after 11.30pm on Friday 13 December.

Three men aged 30, 32 and 29 were then arrested on suspicion of a number of offences.

A statement issued by the Police said: “As part of the investigation, we have also seized two bicycles, which we strongly believe to have been stolen.

“If you’ve got any information on these bikes, please contact Southend local policing team on [email protected]. We believe both bikes may have been stolen in the Southend area.”

Chief Superintendent Leighton Hammett, who oversees policing in south Essex, said: “I would urge anyone who may own these bikes to please come forward; nothing would give these officers more pleasure than to reunite them with their owners – especially ahead of Christmas.

“Theft, no matter what the item which has been taken, is an extremely impactive crime and there may be a perception that police do not have time to investigate it, but we will always follow all reasonable lines of enquiry and do our determined best for victims.”
