Man, 18, arrested in connection with suspicious incident in Eling


PD Diesel and colleagues were hard at it again last night (Wednesday 8 January), this time arresting an 18-year-old man from Totton on suspicion of burglary other than dwelling with intent to steal.

The arrest followed a report, shortly after 11pm, of a suspicious person in the area of Eling Infant School.

Officers from Lyndhurst District Policing Team and Romsey DPT were quickly on the scene, along with PD Diesel and handler.

After a foot pursuit in the local area, PD Diesel and his determined partners in crime prevention soon caught up with and detained the individual described.

A stop and search followed, which unearthed various items, including tools and lead flashing.

The man was also arrested on suspicion of going equipped for burglary and possession of a knife blade / sharp pointed article in a public place.

He remains in police custody at this time. #OneDetained
