Three detained after alcohol stolen from town centre supermarket

Three young adults were detained after alcohol was stolen from Tesco in Weymouth’s town centre during Good Safe Summer patrols on Wednesday evening. The suspects were quickly located and the alcohol recovered unopened, with parents informed and planned interviews at a later date. Earlier in the shift, a man previously evasive about his identity was arrested after being spotted again near Swannery Bridge; authorities confirmed he was wanted on recall to prison and has been returned to custody. Dorset Police described the operation as part of ongoing efforts to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour during the summer period, with officers citing the effectiveness of the patrols in reducing theft in the town centre.
