Three people have been arrested after nearly £10,000-worth of goods stolen from York Designer Outlet was seized, police said.

North Yorkshire Police stopped a vehicle seen being driven "suspiciously" at the shopping centre on Saturday after a tip-off.

The stolen property was recovered and three people were arrested.

A woman, 43, and two men aged 30 and 34 have been charged with shop theft and released on bail.

A police spokesman said: "At a time when the retail industry is experiencing its busiest season of the year shoplifting is not only a nuisance, but it carries significant financial burden.

He added: "I would like to thank the member of the public who contacted us as this led to three arrests and the recovery of thousands of pounds of stolen property."
