A boy of 15 has been arrested after residents reported seeing someone attempting to break into their cars.

In the early hours of Thursday (10 March) police received multiple reports of suspicious activity on the Staynor Hall Estate in Selby.

Residents reported seeing a man sneaking around the estate trying car doors.

The suspect was successful in gaining entry to several vehicles and money was stolen from one of the vehicles.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “The Selby Neighbourhood Policing team spent the next day collating CCTV from victims, conducting house to house enquiries, obtaining statements and gathering information.

“The actions of one quick thinking resident recovered an item linked to the investigation this has been sent away for forensic testing.”
