Bedfordshire Police has arrested three people following the attempted theft of electric vehicle (EV) charging cables.
The man in his 20s and another in his teens were charged with two counts of theft and going equipped, while a teenage girl has been bailed pending further enquiries.
All three have been placed on a curfew between the hours of 8pm and 6am every day.
The incident took place on Thursday, 14 May, when police were alerted by CCTV operators that the trio were taking the EV cables from charging points at Bell Farm Way, Branston Way in Bedford.
As officers arrived, one person made their escape on an e-scooter while the two others were arrested in the subway.
The cables and a saw were recovered from a nearby bush while the third suspect was arrested a short time later.
They have been bailed to appear at Luton Magistrates’ Court on 25 June.
