Detectives investigating a string of burglaries targeting Asian families for gold have arrested a 23-year-old man from Northampton.
The man, who is believed to be from the Asian community, was arrested yesterday and charged with burglary and converting stolen property. He was remanded and is due to appear at Northampton Magistrates Court this morning.
Police have said they are still investigating the raids.
DI Louise Fleckney, who is leading the investigation, said: “Investigations into these burglaries are continuing and we will follow all positive lines of inquiry to seek out the offenders and bring them before the courts. “
Asian men began patrolling the streets of Northampton last month following an alarming number of break-in across areas of the town.
The latest arrest comes after a man from Leicestershire was arrested earlier this month.
A 33-year-old man from Leicestershire was charged in connection with a burglary on September 8, in Hinton Road, Northampton, where a quantity of jewellery was stolen.
He was arrested and charged on October 12 and was bailed to appear in court next month.
Anyone with any information can call Northampton CID on 101 or, alternatively, information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
