Officers from Doncaster East Neighbourhood Policing Team had a busy Christmas and New Year.

Last Thursday they had arrested three males and pointed them in the way of the court room.

Later that afternoon an eagle eyed PCSO in Dunscroft caught sight of a wanted male for burglary.

An Armthorpe officer then came across a 23-year-old male who was acting rather suspiciously in his vehicle. A quick drugs wipe showed that he was driving under the influence of drugs. He was arrested and taken to Doncaster Custody for further investigation. He has now been released on bail pending the results of the drug test.

The same officer visited the same area again the following evening to find another vehicle in the same location late at night. Once again the officers suspicions were raised, this time by the fragrant smell emanating from the vehicle. Two stop searches took place and a small amount of cannabis was seized.

Officers were then called to an address in Thorne to reports of a domestic incident. This resulted in another male being arrested and conveyed to custody for criminal damage and assault. Around the same time a further call was received to a similar incident taking place in Armthorpe. A further two officers attended and found another domestic incident taking place. Again a male was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

“Happy New Year, and best wishes to all those on the East Of Doncaster.”
