Three men arrested as police sting vehicle on cloned plates in Evesham

Evesham Editorial 17th Feb, 2025   0

THREE men were arrested after a stolen vehicle was stung by police in Evesham at the weekend.

Officers from the Operations Patrol Unit (OPU) tracked a Kia Sportage on cloned plates in close convoy with a Ford Ranger that had been taken from a car garage in the early hours of Saturday (February 15).

The Kia linked to the car theft was spotted around 8.40pm that night and was successfully stung on Pershore Lane off the M5, junction 6.

Unfortunately, the Ford Ranger has not yet been recovered.

Three men – aged 21, 32 and 33 – were arrested at the scene on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and the driver was further arrested on suspicion of drug driving.

All three have now been bailed with conditions pending further enquiries.
