Ironically another crime-related article from Southampton today. Looks like quick work by police here - maybe they should give Essex Police in Colchester some tips

A Southampton man has been arrested after two taxis were broken into overnight.

A taxi parked on Shakespeare Avenue was broken into through the driver’s window at around 2.30am.

Around £30 in coins were stolen.

About 15 minutes later, another taxi on Portswood Avenue was broken into in a similar way, however, nothing was found missing.

Police attended and carried out a search of the area.

Officers arrested a 27-year-old man from Southampton who was present near the scene.

He was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft and remains in police custody.

Another short piece based on a Tweet, but lessons here for Colchester police - caught red-handed here

Or more probably just good luck rather than a different policing style

Don't know if it's particularly 'shocking' either

A SHOCKING image shows a Glasgow taxi window smashed after a 'break-in'.

Glass from the window lies in tiny pieces on the ground where the car was parked on Clifford Street in the city's Kinning Park.

Officers from Govan allegedly caught a 31-year-old man breaking into other cars in the street on Friday night.

He was held in custody to attend court today.

Sounds like he was actually in the vehicle when he was arrested
