Businesses on the Yorkshire coast are being warned by police to tighten up their security after a spate of burglaries.

Officers say since the start of February, 21 commercial burglaries have been reported in the Scarborough area, including five overnight on 9 to 10 March 2019.

Sgt Mike Tinsley said: “On analysis of the recent burglaries it is apparent the offenders have targeted small business with little, or no obvious security measures in place.

“We urge business owners to review their current security measures and ask the public to remain vigilant and alert the police about any suspicious activity."

The charges relate to the rape and trafficking of one victim in Sheffield between 2010 and 2011.

West Midlands Police confirmed it is looking into the video and using body camera footage to determine if it will be referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
