Incident at Dial Motors - Buckfastleigh

Thought residents of Buckfastleigh would like to read this extract from a statement about the incident at Dial Motors on Monday nigh I received from the local Police:

...'2 local males were arrested for this offence a short distance from the scene and shortly after the commission of the crime by officers responding to the call. Whilst they were detained searches were conducted in the area by one
 of our dog units, supported by the helicopter and numerous other units, some of whom had come up from Ivybridge. Local CID officers also attended the scene to begin an investigation.

As a result of all the enquiries made on the night, and the result of further searches conducted the next morning one of the males has been charged with the offence of robbery whilst the other has been bailed to allow us progress further enquiries. The charged male appeared in court on Wednesday 3rd October and was remanded in custody pending further court appearances.

The actions of the cashier cannot be praised enough and almost certainly assisted in the apprehension of those involved.

This sort of offence, thankfully, is a rare occurrence across South Devon and more importantly in places like Buckfastleigh. It is for this reason that I have dropped you this note, just to brief you in regards to our response and ultimate result...'
