Police have arrested a second man following a ram raid at a jewellers in Lydney yesterday.
A second man, aged 25 and from Monmouth, was arrested on suspicion of burglary.
Both men arrested in connection with the incident remain in police custody at this time after a custody extension was granted for the first man.
At around 2.50am police were called with a report of a ‘ram-raid’ taking place at a jewellers on Newerne Street in Lydney.
It is believed that a vehicle drove into the shop and offenders entered and stole a number of jewellery boxes which turned out to be empty.
They then fled the scene in a vehicle.
Shortly before 5am police then attended an altercation in the street in Lydney and on arrival one man ran away.
A foot chase took place before officers commandeered a bicycle and cycled up to the man.
A man, aged 22 and from the Forest of Dean, was arrested on suspicion of being involved in the burglary.
He was also arrested on suspicion of assault, driving while under the influence and possession of a class B drug.
