Two men wanted in connection with sexual offences in Newbury have been arrested in Devizes after an extensive national search.
The men, both aged 28, had been sighted in Wiltshire following a national appeal launched by Thames Valley Police on 13 June. They were apprehended and are now in police custody.
The arrests were made following an extensive intelligence-led search operation, which involved the use of dog and drone units. The successful operation was also aided by valuable information from the public.
A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said, “We are grateful for the public’s assistance in locating these individuals. The use of advanced technology and the cooperation of our community were crucial in bringing this search to a successful conclusion.
