Police raided two homes and recovered a "substantial amount" of stolen property.

The raids, on two homes in Shaftesbury last week, led to the seizure of televisions, computers and jewellery that police believe are stolen.

Safer Neighbourhood Inspector, Shawn Whitley, said: “This was excellent, proactive work by local officers leading to the recovery of a number of items which we believe to be stolen.

“Enquiries are now underway to establish who the property belongs to and I'd urge anyone with information or concerns to contact me.”

An 18-year-old man and 22-year-old man, both from Shaftesbury, have been arrested and bailed in connection with a number burglaries.

The 22-year-old man has been charged with one offence of handling stolen goods.
