Arrests have been made after cars were stolen in Lichfield.

Individuals were held in Cannock, Tamworth and Solihull with a number of vehicles recovered.

It was part of Staffordshire Police’s Operation Bormus crackdown on vehicle-related crime.

Detective Inspector Pete Cooke, from the force’s CID, said:

> “It’s the start of a new year and we wanted to send a clear message to everyone that our commitment to tackling vehicle crime in Staffordshire remains a key priority.  
>  
> “We’ve been working hard with our colleagues at West Midlands Police and dedicated units within the force to continue our efforts against those responsible.  
>  
> “We’re hopeful that we can continue to achieve results into 2023 and ensure this criminality is dealt with robustly and proportionately.”  
>

Among those arrested was a 31-year-old from Tamworth on suspicion of conspiring to steal a motor vehicle after a driver of a Ford vehicle had been spotted acting suspiciously in Lichfield on 30th December.

He remains in custody while inquiries continue.
