Officers have arrested three men following a series of reported break-ins at charity shops in Poole town centre and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
At around 2.55am on Thursday 14 September 2023 Dorset Police responded to reports of an alarm sounding in the High Street.
Officers attended and discovered a number of shop fronts had been damaged, with at least eight charity shops reportedly targeted. It was reported that entry had been gained to a number of the stores and enquiries are ongoing to establish what is alleged to have been stolen.
