Man arrested overnight after allegedly testing car door handles in Aylesbury

A man has been arrested overnight in Aylesbury after witness reports alleged that someone was testing car door handles nearby.

Last night (21 June) a 37-year-old from Aylesbury was arrested at 11pm on Priory Crescent.

He has been subsequently charged with vehicle Interference and is due to appear in court today.
