A Barnsley man has been charged following a series of commercial burglaries in the town. The string of incidents saw seven premises targeted between February and May 2020.

During the course of the burglaries, a number of items are said to have been stolen. These include cash, a metal safe and mechanic tools. Officers have since recovered some of the items and returned them to their rightful owners.
