A man in his 30s from London has been arrested following two burglaries – and a further two attempts – at homes in Fenland.
Brazen Manea residents have been praised after confronting a suspect on Sunday (August 9) after two burglaries on Station Road in the Fen village.

Mr Thomas said: “Hope you all sleep well tonight knowing the man’s off the streets.”

“The arrest relates to two attempted and one burglary in Manea on August 9 and one burglary in Friday Bridge on July 23.
