James Cross, 19, of Selbys in Lingfield, was arrested on 25 January after officers from Surrey, Kent and Sussex police, executed a joint warrant at his address for a string of car thefts across the three counties.
Investigating Officer PC Newman said: “This is a great example of a successful joint operation between Surrey, Sussex and Kent. Through cross-border working we are able to target and combat those offenders who cause harm and distress to the local community.
“Information from members of the public is crucial in helping us identify and pursue offenders, and we will act robustly on this to bring as many as we can to justice.”
