THREE people have been arrested and charged in connection with a spate of shed and vehicle break-ins in Hampshire.

Police detained all three after being called to a property at Chilworth in the early hours of Tuesday.

A householder disturbed a man and two youths trying to break into a garden shed in the village and police arrested them at the scene.

All three come from Southampton. Connor Stanley Mayhew, 19, of Coxford, Southampton, was charged with theft from a motor vehicle and burglary.

Two others, both aged under 18 and from Shirley were charged with similar offences.
