One man was arrested after police responded to reports of suspicious behaviour in a neighbourhood.

Officers were called to the Kenilworth Drive area of Croxley Green just before 3am (June 23) to reports of two men seen trying to get into parked vehicles.

Police flooded the area and a helicopter was also called in to track down the suspects.

Hertfordshire Constabulary says a suspect was detained and found to have a car ley on him which matched a vehicle that police say was reported as stolen from Watford earlier this week. That vehicle has since been recovered.

Enquiries are ongoing to trace the other suspect that was able to get away overnight.

Anyone with information is asked to visit herts.police.uk/report or call 101 quoting ISR 64 of June 23.

  • A 23-year-old man from Watford has been arrested on suspicion of several offences of interference with a motor vehicle and on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle. He remains in police custody at this time.
