Wanted man nabbed in Bedford by quick thinking PCSO - who hid his bike so he couldn't escape

The wanted man was spotted by CCTV operators and apprehended by the PCSO yesterday (April 13).

The PCSO explained: “Had to use some of the skills I have picked up in the job along the way to detain him while officers were on their way, including hiding his bike he’d left outside Tesco on the High Street while he was looking the other way, to prevent him from hopping on and riding off, along with pretending to use the radio to check his details through despite already knowing he is wanted.”

Despite “not so subtle threats” from the offender, the PCSO was able to detain him for long enough for police officers to arrive and arrest him.
