TWO men have appeared in court in connection with theft offences in Pembrokeshire
Police received a number of calls from retail premises in the Pembrokeshire area on Saturday 22nd February reporting that two men were attempting to steal money using a sleight of hand technique. A vehicle belonging to the suspects was quickly identified and circulated to officers. This led to the vehicle being stopped in the Haverfordwest area and the two occupants being arrested on Saturday afternoon.
Sandhu Dumitru, 23, from Birmingham was charged with 2 x theft and 5 attempt thefts
Ion Anghel Si Muntean, 24, from Luton was charged with 2 x attempt theft.
Both appeared at Llanelli magistrates Court this morning and pleaded guilty to the offences. They were remanded in custody until 26th February for sentencing.
Chief inspector Louise Harries said,
“While we don’t see this type of crime often in our area it is important that retailers are aware and make sure that staff are vigilant so that such offending is prevented. As soon as police became aware extensive enquiries were conducted leading to the arrest and charge of two men.”
