Police hunt wanted teenager who fled while being arrested in Dunstable

The teenager, who was wanted for a burglary in another county, was collared by police in High Street South just after 4pm yesterday (Tuesday).

But he ran away as police were arresting him – and despite an “extensive search of the area”, including using the police helicopter, he has not been found.

Bedfordshire Police said: “It is not believed the suspect poses a risk to the wider community, but anyone with information to support police efforts to locate him is asked to call 101 or report online, quoting reference 40/33432/24.”
