A resident who lives nearby said a silver Peugeot 306 that was reportedly driven by one of the suspects was recovered by police at around 3.10pm.

“The lady who lived there died a few months ago and the house has been targeted a couple of times whilst empty,” said the resident.

The vehicle was seized but it is unclear what items were stolen from the house, which have since been recovered.

Stark, 38, will appear at Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court today (Thursday).

Bywater, 54, has been released on bail to appear at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on February 25.
