Officers arrested a would-be thief in Tesco, High Street, after he attempted to steal from several shops in Bedford.

And a quick check showed the “prolific offender” – who was picked up on Saturday (June 22) – was also wanted on recall to prison.

The PSCO who tracked him down said: "CCTV picked him up on a bike on the high street outside Tesco. I stayed hidden out of sight. Other units were also on the way. He then went into Tesco, so I used this moment to run down to Tesco, where I located him inside and detained him.”

He was then arrested.
