One of Bedford’s ‘most wanted’ finally arrested by Police

Bedfordshire Police say they’ve captured one of “Bedford’s most wanted criminals” after he managed to get away from them for several days.

The man in his 40s was spotted after police identified the car he was using to evade capture.

He was arrested on Friday (4 Oct) in Ashburnham Road on suspicion of burglary and was further arrested on suspicion of failing to appear at court.

Despite this, he has been released on police bail pending further enquiries.

Posting on their facebook page, Bedford’s Comminty Police team says finally catching him was an “amazing feeling”.
