Man charged with six burglaries

Vitalijus Kovaliovas, aged 28, of Chelmer Crescent, Barking, was arrested on Friday and subsequently charged with six burglaries.

This follows a cross border investigation, working alongside Cambridgeshire Constabulary, relating to offences reported in July.

Jewellery was targeted in four of the five incidents along with electronic items.

The incidents reported in Lincolnshire relate to Beaufort Drive in Bourne, Spalding Road in Holbeach, Chaldean Way in Spalding, Spalding Road in Pinchbeck and Chestnut Avenue in Donington. The Cambridgeshire offence relates to March Road in Wimblington.   

Kovaliovas appeared before Cambridge Magistrates’ Court today (1 August) where he was bailed with conditions not to enter Lincolnshire or Cambridgeshire other than to attend court.

In June, we launched our campaign Beating Burglary Together, in which we pledged how we would work with communities to tackle the issue and better inform our residents what we are doing, and where burglaries are happening in our county.
