In the early hours today, police arrested a 44-year-old local man in Baldrine, Lonan, as a result of reports that a man had been seen trying the doors of parked vehicles.
The arrested man has subsequently been charged with multiple offences of attempted theft, taking a vehicle without permission, going equipped to steal and other motoring offences.
He will appear in court tomorrow.
Sergeant Vinny Lund said: ‘The vehicles targeted were unlocked. If you live in the local area, can I ask you to check your vehicle – you may have an item or items missing.
‘If you have, please contact Ramsey police station. Once again I would urge people to lock their doors. This simple precaution will deter the opportunist thief.’
