A MAN has been arrested after a stolen caravan was found dumped and blocking a road.

It is reported that at around 10pm on Friday, May 5, a Tabbert Comtesse 680 caravan was stolen from an address in Blandford and towed away using a black Mitsubishi Shogun.

The caravan was later found in Louse Lane near Spetisbury following a call from a member of the public reporting that it was blocking the road.

Following enquiries, a 37-year-old man from Salisbury was arrested on suspicion of theft.

Dorset Police say the man has been released under investigation while their enquiries continue.
