A town centre constable arrested one serial thief just moments after hundreds of pounds worth of perfumes had been stolen from a store in Calverley Road. Daniel Findra was detained by the officer after he was seen leaving Boots the Chemist, shortly after 9am on 29 September 2022.
Patrols in the town had been on high alert following a string of recent thefts including at a department store, music shop and the Amelia Scott library. Findra, 36, of no fixed address was taken into custody and searches led to the recovery of several bottles and boxes containing fragrances.
