Police officer uniform

A wanted man was arrested and recalled to prison thanks to two eagle eyed PCSOs in Cheltenham.

PCSOs Barry and Harvie were on patrol in the town centre on Monday morning (6 January) when they spotted a man who was wanted on recall in connection with burglary offences.

The man was approached by the pair but ran away and a foot chase ensued.

The duo were able to follow the man and give a clear description of their location so that more officers could attend.

The man was subsequently arrested and items which he’d discarded while running away were located nearby.

He was remanded into custody and recalled to prison.
