Spate of burglaries in Low Fell reported as two men arrested
by Daniel Hall · ChronicleLiveTwo men have been arrested after a series of burglaries in Low Fell.
Police were called to the Gateshead suburb in the early hours of Sunday morning, after reports of burglaries at several premises on Beaconsfield Road, Durham Road and Kells Lane. Two men, aged 41 and 43 have been arrested.
The 41-year-old has been released on bail pending further enquiries, while the 43-year-old remains in police custody. Police believe that the reports of burglaries at businesses, which include the Beaconsfield Pub and independent butcher D.E. Gorham Butchers, are linked.
A spokesperson for Northumbria Police encouraged anyone with information to get in touch, saying: "Anyone with information about the burglaries should send us a direct message on social media, use the live chat function or form on our website. For those unable to contact us via those ways, call 101."
