Two people have been arrested in connection with two separate burglaries in the east of the county.

A 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested and charged following a burglary at an address in Morris Gardens, Skegness, on 7 July.

We received a report that a youth had entered a property and stolen a Vauxhall Corsa.

A swift joint response from our officers and CID led to an arrest, charge and remand within 10 hours.

He was charged with burglary, driving a car without a licence, taking a car without consent, and driving a car without insurance. He will appear at court at a later date.

Incident 27 of July 7 refers.

A 38-year-old woman has been arrested following a separate burglary at a property in Sandringham Drive in Louth.

The victim, an elderly woman, woke in the early hours of the morning of 8 July to find someone in her house. The suspect left the house with a laptop, phone, alcohol, a Nissan Qashqai car, and other items.

The incident was called in at 2.06am. An off-duty officer heard the call and spotted the stolen car in a nearby street. Officers were deployed and arrested her on suspicion of burglary. She remains in custody and will be questioned in due course.
