Stoke Pensioner Arrested Following Tyre Slash Spree

Local newspaper, The Sentinel reports that a 70-year old man from Stoke-on-Trent was placed under citizen’s arrest earlier in the week after a Neighbourhood Watch coordinator said he saw him “stab the tyres of a Ford Ka” in Sneyd Green.

Police took the suspect to Etruria, where they conducted an interview – they say the incident, which follows a spate of slashed tyres in the area, “will be thoroughly investigated.”
