Following an investigation into reports of a man trying car doors in Latchford, Warrington, and then in Moore, in the early hours of Sunday (August 10), police from Runcorn and Warrington were deployed and swiftly located and arrested a man around 7am.
Enquiries in the areas revealed that the man had also stolen and crashed a car.
The 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle, attempted burglary other than a dwelling, burglary, taking a vehicle without consent and assault by beating of an emergency worker.
He has since been bailed for further enquiries.
